Crossword: Winter 2023

This month, our crossword highlights different forms of transformation: goals, health, exercise, transitions, etc. But it also touches on the things we don’t necessarily need to let go, like bakeries and D.C. institutions. However you might change this year, we hope this crossword remains a constant. See the answer key.
