Thus, we&#8217;re taking it a bit easier on y&#8217;all this week.  However, just &#8217;cause we&#8217;re taking a walk on the mild side doesn&#8217;t mean that we&#8217;re compromising on anything else that you are looking for.  The puzzle is still themed, still filled with as much fresh vocabulary and innovative cluing as we can manage, and will hopefully still make you groan at least once and scratch your head at least once.  If we can manage to inspire a chuckle or a curse, then we&#8217;ll really know that we&#8217;re on the right track.<\/p>\n<p>We also notice that this is puzzle number 104.  At one per week, this apparently means we&#8217;ve been giving you free puzzles for two full years now.  Happy Birthday, or something like that.  It&#8217;s been a long road, with lots of changes along the way, but its been a great time sharing with all of you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Title<\/strong>: Early Deployment<br \/>\n<strong>Difficulty<\/strong>: Wednesday<br \/>\n<strong>Download<\/strong>: <a title=\"Across Lite puzzle\" href=\"https:\/\/beekeeperlabs.com\/puzzles\/EarlyDeployment.puz\">Across Lite<\/a> or <a title=\"PNG image puzzle\" href=\"https:\/\/beekeeperlabs.com\/puzzles\/EarlyDeployment-large.png\" target=\"_blank\">printable PNG<\/a> (w\/ <a title=\"PNG image solution\" href=\"https:\/\/beekeeperlabs.com\/puzzles\/EarlyDeployment-solution.png\" target=\"_blank\">solution<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judging by our comments, last weeks puzzle managed to be somewhat more confounding than we had anticipated.
