2026 TOURNAMENT

Lollapuzzoola 19 will take place on Saturday, August 15, 2026 (that’s a Saturday in August), in New York City! We’ll post more information on the tournament soon, but here’s the quick summary:

• Saturday, August 15, 2026 – 10am-5pm
• Riverside Church (490 Riverside Drive, New York, NY)
• Solo players can choose Express Division (speed solvers, akin to the ACPT A or B divisions) or Local Division; Pairs Division also available, but not split into Express/Local
• optional pizza lunch

If you have other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at lolla@bemoresmarter.com!

We’ve got a backlog of the past few years’ worth of tournament content, which can all be purchased below. Each set includes the full slate of tournament puzzles, warmup puzzles, championship puzzles, and two meta puzzle suites (one crossword based, one variety based).

Once you place your order, you should get an email with links to download the content. If you don’t see it, check your junk and spam filters (and consider whitelisting bemoresmarter.com). And if all else fails, email us at lolla@bemoresmarter.com if something goes wrong and you can’t access the content.

We’re also entering the world of online apparel orders in the form of t-shirts! If you’re interesting in repping the greatest crossword tournament ever held annually on a Saturday in August, those dreams can come true!

NOTE: If you’re having trouble with the checkout feature here, we have found more success with computers (as opposed to phones and tablets), and with Chrome or Firefox (as opposed to Safari, Edge, or Explorer). If you have the option of using a different device to sign up, give that a try — but if not, email us at lolla@bemoresmarter.com, and we can arrange another method of payment and registration.
