Guardian crossword editor discusses theme puzzles and AI claims
The Guardian's crossword editor addressed recent comments about artificial intelligence in puzzles while highlighting a new themed grid.

Novel features crossword solutions
Tony White's novel opens with words that are solutions to sixty days of Guardian Quick Crosswords from April to June 1985. The editor noted that this specific foreword is rare but has just occurred.

The publication thanked readers for confirming that all crosswords are created by human beings. The editor stated that claims about artificial intelligence often lack supporting evidence and can become tedious to read.
New theme awaits solvers
This month's Genius puzzle by Turnstone features a secret sheet music element within the grid structure. Solvers are invited to try this new entry if they have not attempted a Genius before.
