Today’s puzzle is brought to you by Puzzles for Palestine, an endeavor created by Adrian Johnson in 2023 to raise money to support Palestinian liberation. In January 2024, Puzzles for Palestine released a pack of 22 crossword puzzles by an all-star team of constructors and editors, available to anyone who donated to one of four pro-Palestine charities – an effort that has, to date, raised over $13,000 for humanitarian aid organizations in the region.

Today, we’re excited to share that PFP2 is now available for pre-order! Please send proof of donation to this fundraiser to puzzlesforpalestine [at] gmail [dot] com. This time around, PFP is partnering with the Palestine Aid Society of America to create a direct support fund that most effectively meets the everyday needs of Palestinians in Gaza.

There is no set minimum donation – we encourage you to give generously and to your capacity to this important cause. The original PFP is still available as well for a donation of $40 or more – please then specify in your email that you’d like both packs.

Anyone who pre-orders will receive the pack on the day it’s released, which will be in early January 2025. In the meantime, please enjoy this preview puzzle – a small taste of what you can expect from the rest of PFP2. Happy holidays!
