#Colloquials
📹Este vídeo explora algunes expressions col·loquials que apareixen en la crònica, una mostra de la força i l’espontaneïtat amb què el Conquistador s’adreçava als seus adversaris i als qui el decebien.

Lovely Friday #nytxw from @robynw414.bsky.social. Always on the wavelength with one of my favorite constructors. Sharp colloquials, smiles all around. When I see her byline I know I’m in for a treat and she never disappoints. Thank you Robyn! #CrosswordSky

LRP yeah, I have personally been the victim of this embarrassing situation many times. As much as I want to respect tonal indicators if you’re using slang/colloquials on an audience that isn’t familiar with them, it only makes things so much harder. Not everyone is constantly online or in these

Scientists don't use colloquials; blame that on the general public. Especially when the scientist will point out that most "daddy longlegs" aren't even spiders (though a few cellar spider species get the label too).

Quick post to say I loved the Saturday 1/17/26 #nytxw by @aaronson.bsky.social - especially decoding 8D. Colloquials, clever clueing, fresh & sassy. Nice one, Adam! Streak intact, going back underground. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

A pleasure to solve Fri 8/8 #nytxw by @rafaxword.bsky.social & Matthew Stock. Unsurprised, because both always deliver tasty puzzles w great clueing & lively colloquials. Had a little trouble breaking in but then it flowed south to north beautifully. Still LOLing at 55A. Thx! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Saturday 7/19 #nytxw:
@e-a-rly.bsky.social serves up a terrific themeless w his customary brilliant clueing, 5 gridspanning colloquials, easy flow, and as always things to learn. My brother did 10Ds in Baltimore so I was especially pleased to see that one. Thx Erik! #CrosswordSky #GridSKy

Wednesday 5/21 #nytxw by Ilana Levene (her debut) & Scott Hogan has a cute theme with a bunch of spoken colloquials disguised as common phrases, until you add the comma. Clever and fun puzzle. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Friday 5/16 #nytxw by August Lee-Kovach is a smooth themeless with colloquials all over & a modern feel throughout. Not as hard as some endweekers have been recently but that’s ok. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Fri 5/9 #nytxw by Willa Angel Chen Miller &
@e-a-rly.bsky.social—slow to get a foothold, &then the west starts to flow w sharp colloquials across & down. Then on to the east with more. Major blunder for me plunking in the wrong pioneer for 11D but I got it! Thx Willa &Erik! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Terrific Saturday 5/3 #nytxw by @Footnote24.bsky.social! Lots of cute colloquials—30D & 57A fun challenges for old me, also a bunch of gimmes. Fresh fill all over & tasty foods too. Here & there wrong answers before right ones which is perfect for endweek. Loved it, Mike! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Friday 4/28 #nytxw by Greg Snitkin & Glenn Davis (his debut) is a solid themeless full of colloquials, fresh longs, & lively clues. Smooth & easy flow through the grid. Nice start to the weekend! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Sunday 4/13 #nytxw by John Kugelman is a cute one. For a few beats I thought were talking rhymes until 42A & I re-thought. At least 3 slangy words & a bunch of colloquials gave an easy ride with smiles which is fine with me. Thx John! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Saturday 4/12 #nytxw by Jesse Cohn has some nice colloquials & fresh fill with one entry that you might need crosses for every letter, like I did. Tough in places as endweek should be, and a satisfying solve. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Sat 4/5 #nytxw by @rafaxword.bsky.social is an excellent challenge—tough at first but then breaking through with lovely 9s & 10s, good colloquials, clever clues (17A lol), things to learn. Just right for a weekender—love seeing Rafa’s byline! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Saturday 3/22 #nytxw by Katie Hoody has 4 gridspanners that plunked right in, some colloquials, several misdirections, a pair of spelling challenges, & a sprinkling of nostalgia for us olds. (Yes I remember Gorbachev’s wife.) Smooth solve, nice puzzle. #CrosswordSky #GridSky
March 22, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Friday 3/21 #nytxw by Boaz Moser & Jacob Reed is a mostly easy solve with lots of fun colloquials & 2 gridspanners. My Pokémon & Mario knowledge=0 but I sussed out those & the unknown 43A with crosses & pretty much sailed through the rest. Good one. #CrosswordSky #GridSky
March 21, 2025 at 4:47 PM
Friday 2/21 #nytxw by Colin Adams has lots of 10 stacks across & down in a grid full of sharp colloquials & fresh content. A few obscure names as clued here & there give some Friday pushback but are getable by crosses. Good endweek puzzle! #CrosswordSky #GridSky
February 22, 2025 at 1:22 AM
Friday 1/31 #nytxw by Adrian Johnson is a themeless that flows with enough clever misdirection to make it an easy solve but with a little pushback. Nice colloquials, nice stacks. Thanks Adrian! #CrosswordSky #GridSky
January 31, 2025 at 4:04 PM
Friday 1/17 #nytxw by Willa Angel Chen Miller has a few challenging names that you may need crosses for, but also full of colloquials, fresh fill, & clever clues that make this a great endweeker. Well done, Willa! #CrosswordSky #GridSky
January 17, 2025 at 2:48 PM
Friday 1/10 #nytxw by Robert Logan has a smooth flow with colloquials all over. I slowed down briefly in the NW corner because 2D didn’t parse at first but overall it’s a good one. #CrosswordSky #GridSky
January 11, 2025 at 3:16 AM
Friday 12/13 #nytxw from Ryan Patrick Smith has a neat grid of 4 sections held together by a center that spans the grid. A couple of memorable old songs, some colloquials, nice flow and solid fill. Then there’s 57A but I’ll forgive it this one time. Good one Ryan - thanks! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

And @robynw414.bsky.social does it again. A lovely Friday themeless #nytxw with long colloquials in both directions & fresh clues/answers throughout. Love a Robyn Friday & any day - thanks as always! [12/6] #CrosswordSky #GridSky
