Should the Wordplay column be using a photo that solves one of the tricky clues? I know people who read the column expect spoilers, but not in the link that we see before we've done the puzzle.
@Max I think the point is, people often go to the Bee comments to get hints to find words they're missing, so spoilers really would ruin it for them. Anybody coming here to get help finishing a crossword would have to come through the wordplay column that already gives spoilers.
For Roman numerals, with I, X, and C you are limited to three because of the option to subtract, but since that's not an option for M, did they really have a rule that you can't write MMMM? Is MMMM good?
@Mean Old Lady I didn't notice it until after I did the puzzle, so no spoilers for me, either, but I solve on my computer, and that picture was at the bottom of my screen the whole time. I just think they should limit the pictures to illustrating a clue or theme, not an answer.
