Relocation | a cryptic puzzle by Emily Cox & Henry Rathvon It’s Moving Day! We’ve packed everything into 143 boxes and left it for you, dear solver, to figure out what goes where. The boxes, each holding one letter, are helpfully arranged in groups; these are clued and numbered for entry in our “home” grid. In the confusion of moving, we may have had a few boxes in the wrong groups when we wrote these clues, and as a result some of the answers are too long or too short for their places in the grid. For help in relocating any such stray boxes, we suggest using the answer at 22-Across.
