Re Wordplay: Well said Sam. This community doesn’t have to devolve into the chaos, negativity, and division we experience on other online platforms. The choice is ours to make.
To all the plural pedants, lighten up! There is a reason the crossword column is titled “Word Play” and not “Oxford English Dictionary.” The games afoot—let’s play!
@Francis, I—on the other hand—assumed it was in reference to Jeopardy. I got the answers but not the revealer so I was kinda clueless if you catch my meaning.
@Mean Old Lady No, @NYC Traveler is correct. Maundy Thursday is an observance of the Jewish Passover Seder, aka the Last Supper. It is part of what is known as The Passion Story. Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras is pancake day which marks the end of Shrovetide and the beginning of Lent.
@James Numbers are just symbols for words and here the words are parts of common phrases. But the math—it smote me.
@MarkInTheMountains Interesting question and I don’t know the answer. I agree that constructors have a tough mission: Challenge me with my preexisting knowledge base. If they miss that sweet spot for some people you see the “not fun”, “too much trivia “, “unfair” or “lazy” comments come out. Hey, did you get the rain down your way? After another good soaking rain we saw a spectacular, full spectrum, double rainbow this afternoon.
