Color-blindness is the least recognized affliction in the US, even though there are more colorblind Americans (12 million!) than there are blind Americans. Color-based crossword puzzles are one of many instances in today's world with which the colorblind are forced to struggle. One would hope that, in these enlightened times, the needs of the colorblind would receive their proper due and appropriate adjustments would be made. This is not sour grapes on my part. I completed today's puzzle in under 28 minutes, which is pretty good considering the burden I bear. #AttentionMustBePlaid!
