RIP Andre Braughter the only person who could humanize a cop twice over

And only him because otherwise I don't care

Anyone know what the circles mean when they’re like this in a crossword?

[–] dept@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

means it's part of a clue. in this case it's 6 above's clue which is "Approximate shape of this puzzle's white squares... and a synonym of the circled letters"

Oh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.

No problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.

I play the Sunday as a group and my God. Crosswords have some of the most bullshit rules.

You can put multiple letters on a single square? Reebus. You can also have an answer that's a whole phrase instead of a word.

Sundays are fucked up tbh

YEAH i hate rebuses. I did almost a puzzle daily last year and have only gotten 1 rebus without help.

Why do I feel embarrassed simply watching these people be cringe for, presumably (hopefully), humor?

I really can't tell if they are serious or not

Which crossword game is this?

[–] IDontEvenGoHere@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

The New York Times mini crossword. There's a new one everyday and it's free to play!

[–] trucy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago
