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.
@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.
I had ‘forties’ for 91 across (the circles in 93 across), until none of the cross words worked.
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)?
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.’
