The Chronicle’s crossword puzzle does not appear this week. The next puzzle will appear in The Chronicle Review of September 30, which will be posted on September 26.

Some puzzle solvers who recently experienced lack of access to Across Lite files on this page reported success when they used a browser other than Internet Explorer or when they right-clicked on the puzzle title, chose "Save target as...," then changed the file extension from .htm to .puz before they saved and opened the puzzle. Email us if problems persist. For convenience, we're offering the puzzle as a pdf as well.
