Why subscribe to the Invitational newsletter?

Until The Style Invitational’s final edition in The Washington Post on Dec. 18, 2022, this newsletter offered links to the just-published online version of the humor/wordplay contest every Thursday afternoon.
But now we’re on our own! Well, the Empress is collaborating with her predecessor, the Czar (aka Gene Weingarten), now on Gene’s Substack blog The Gene Pool, every Thursday at GeneWeingarten.substack.com. So please subscribe over there to both support the Invitational and to enjoy Gene’s Pulitzer-winning writing and chat on matters both weighty and whatever the polar opposite of weighty is. For now, I’m using this Substack to remind you to trot over to The Gene Pool for the Invite — I’ll send out an email every Thursday when it’s up — but also want to keep it open for possibly sharing Invite Inks of the Day, classic sets of results, etc. (let me know if you’d like that) … and, if necessary, bring the Invite back here on my own. So don’t drop your subscription! And if you’re not on my list of free subscribers ….

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
