Welcome to the new format of [email protected]! Instead of the daily post focusing on the NYT crossword like on /r/crossword, we're now open to discussion for all daily crosswords.

I request using Lemmy's spoiler function if you plan on discussing answers - to avoid spoiling the crossword for others. It's not something I plan on enforcing, just want everyone to extend courtesy to others. For those checking the comments, some spoilers may slip by, so please proceed into the comments with caution.

I aim to post these at 10 PM EST the day before, in line with the current post times.

If there are any other crosswords you would like to see added to this list, please let me know and I will add it in a future post.

Thank you for being a part of this community!

NYT: lol, 2:30, got three wrong on first pass, was to excited that there was a possibility for p*ss to be a solution. Should have known better, should have known better.... Definitely trending heavily downwards, lets see how deep this pit will be.

28s NYT mini, and here is a video of me doing it on my phone (spoilers of course!) since folks are impressed with my quick thumbs 😁

GG!

I got 7A wrong and that took a bit to fix.

  • NYT: 0:37 - Got 7A wrong initially. Don't know why I went with it.
  • LAT: 1:13
  • USA Today: 0:33
  • WaPo: 2:44 - The same clues got me.
  • Telegraph: 0:38
  • Modern Crossword: 3:18 - I love their hilarious clues. 8A and 5D, haha.

NYT daily: I do not get what the all caps clues are trying to convey.

Yeah I was clueless for the longest time as well. Had to look it up.

For the clue (C)AR(OL) BR(A)DY, Carol Brady is the name of the mom character in The Brady Brunch. C O L A is underlined making cola, and pop is a synonym for that. Together they make the answer "Mom and Pop".

Thanks! I think part of the problem is on the app there’s no underline in the clue.
