It was so much fun to just hang out w/ other xword people and solve puzzles and talk puzzles and share my own puzzle and listen to Eno and Ono and Sade and Sia etc. Thanks to @wfmu.bsky.social & esp @efd.bsky.social for letting me be part of their 1st (hopefully not last) xword meet-up!

First time I've managed to finish a Grau Genius xword. Phewww 😰

Just stopped a xword because of a clue that treated "Lake America" like it was real. Every map and atlas in the world could officially change and I would not fucking budge. I will never ever for one second consent to live in the fictional world that guy is trying to make. Thank you for understanding

Good morning.
Today's word is another from the index of my 60yo Xword solver's book, and I've made up a clue for it.

Clue: Anaesthetic you can count on.

Have you worked it out? You should, being wordsmiths!

Answer: #Number.

Good morning!
I read over 300 posts yesterday, many referring to creature comforts, possibly due to the weather! Apologies if I missed yours.
Today's word, another subject heading from my xword help book, is #domestic - relating to home, a tame animal, a char...
Over to you!

a fun thing to do is hit up @puzzmo.com right after the new day’s puzzles drop (1am ET) so you rank really high and then never look at the rankings again so you can just walk around thinking you’re really smart

finished the nyt crossword this weekend* and “BLUESKY” was an answer. This means if you think the xword has anything to do w the paper then they see us making fun of them

*Im so sorry pls don’t make fun of me**

**jk come at me everything sucks and I enjoy doing crosswords I don’t pay for

avcx is such a great xword subscription
Tonight’s AVCX Classic crossword comes from Karen Lurie, who is simply a joy. It’s called “URL of Sandwich.”

Next week’s puzzle is by Paolo Pasco, but it’ll be a couple days later than usual. I wonder why?

Our stuff, the good crosswords that you like, is at avxwords.com

Just solved a cryptic xword answer where the literal part of the clue for ELON was “Nazi sympathizer” and yeah ok if that’s the clue you’re going with then sure, you can put that asshole in your grid, I’ll allow it 💪 god bless the crossword makers who refuse to mince words

Clearly, you should not miss this gem of a xword by @rebecculous.bsky.social

Every time Ilhan OMAR is in the xword, racist fucks post scurrilous comments about her at my blog (you never see them because blog moderation is your friend). Anyway, fuck those guys and everyone who heaps vile bigoted slander on her. No one’s been braver through all this. Certainly no politician.

CROSSWORDS. The 2nd best thing to not doing the NYT xword is to not click through to NYT dot com or pay for it.

Down For Across collates free crosswords from across the internet incl newspapers like the NYT & LA Times etc.

And it doesn't send you to their websites!

Good morning! The next word from my Xword book index is #geography - not one of my better subjects from school, though I enjoyed drawing maps.
I still prefer real maps - if I don't know where I am now, how can GPS tell me where to go next?

Happier and happier I canceled my subscription. Except for the xword.
