Happy Little Puzzles

Happy June, everyone! It's great to be back here after some time away. My goal for the summer is to have a puzzle for you most Fridays —...

"F*ck ___" (Brooke Husic, Essie nail polish enthusiast): three letters.

First Black woman elected as mayor of St. Louis (Apr. 7, 2021): thirteen letters.

🎉 Happy Little Puzzles turns 1 year old! Thank you so, so much for solving. More great things from great people coming your way in Year 2.

Not an April Fool's joke – today's puzzle is another meta contest! It's also Emet Ozar's world debut, and it's a great one.
