SUNDAY PUZZLE<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Hello solvers! We hope everyone\u2019s summers are going well, and we\u2019re so pleased to share our first joint Sunday puzzle with you all. This is Alex\u2019s Sunday debut, and he only leveraged Talia\u2019s expertise to do 75% of the fill. This puzzle is dedicated to all corporate baddies navigating office culture for the first time in their summer internships. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ping Project Manager Talia (<\/span>taliabla@umich.edu<\/span><\/a>) and Domain Owner Alex (<\/span>alexrw@umich.edu<\/span><\/a>) before their innies clock out. If you have any general concerns, be sure to contact the Chief Crossword Officer (CCO) at <\/span>crosswords@umich.edu<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Tricky Clues:<\/strong><\/p>\n

29A. This clue refers to LVA, as in the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA. Anyone who knows Talia knows she is a big sports fan, especially women\u2019s basketball, so we thought this was a perfect way to add a sports reference into our crossword. Three-time MVP A\u2019ja Wilson is one of the most decorated players in women\u2019s sports today, but her Aces are currently having a mediocre season after winning championships in two of the last three seasons.<\/p>\n
