Which is used more: Oreo in the Crossword or Acacia/Acai in Spelling Bee?
So many complaints this week about puzzles not being on the appropriate day. No complaints today.
@Sebastian Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t very Fuzzy, was he?
If you play the UK version of Scrabble, then 1-across could be ZA, ZE or ZO.
This was fun. Like doing three Midi puzzles.
@Marilyn It’s a Red Eye. As in 1across and 7 across.
@Snarf disliker It’s a slang word for eating quickly and greedily. There are sandwich shops here called Snarf’s.
Strands and the Crossword, both clever, both yummy.
@Mark Abe I think it’s intentional. It happens a lot.
@Francisco Zappa I have the games app in iOS, and the ‘X’ works for me. Maybe it’s something else?
I had ‘forties’ for 91 across (the circles in 93 across), until none of the cross words worked.
I don’t get the Midi theme. Can someone explain it, please?
If I have an issue with the Midi puzzle (my streak was erased), where do I go to have it fixed?
Was today’s Mini puzzle harder than usual, or am I just off today? And where is Joel Fagliano these days?
@Byron When I hear cattails I always think of the Gordon Lightfoot song: Pussywillows, Cattails, soft winds and roses…🎶 (Gordon Lightfoot was Canadian).
@Steven M. I think there’s always a repeated word in the mini and the full.
@Paul Regarding 1)scrolling down… Who has time to scroll down 300 comments. If the comment section had search capability, you could just look up the word plum/plumb and join the conversation. (I guess I could suggest that, huh)?
@Buddy’s Mom The games subscription is separate from the news subscription.
@Geoff Offermann Also regarding the mini: 4across -psych! I don’t get the answer (not).
@HeathieJ Thanks! That makes sense. I’ve heard ‘not’ but not ‘psych.’
@Steve L The UK version has a lot more two-letter words. Same alphabet. A lot of different words. ZE is a gender neutral third person singular pronoun. ZO (or dzo) is a hybrid yak and cow.
What does the card say in the gloved hands? I can’t expand the picture.
In the Mini Puzzle, I’ve never heard the Word NOUSE. The clue is “pointless.” But that isn’t the definition given when I Google it. Where does it come from?
I wish there was Wordplay for the Midi puzzle. I don’t get today’s theme. Help?
@Paul True. I guess I meant patience.
@Steve L @el Err as in error. Ere like in air. And then there’s the hairy and Harry argument. Hairy like airy and Harry like hat.
@Barry Ancona The NYT Games app says ‘typeface.’
You’re probably correct. I haven’t seen it written out in years.
@John Yeah, like hairy and Harry. Not homophones.
@Desenada I emailed to the address above and got an autonomous reply saying they couldn’t change it and maybe I was using a different device or did it after midnight. I replied to that and it said it would pass it on to the team. Maybe if enough people complain, they’ll fix it.
