Crosswords Tuesday 01/16/2024 Discussion

Welcome to the new format of !crossword@lemmy.world! Instead of the daily post focusing solely on the NYT crossword like on /r/crossword, we at Lemmy are open to discussion for all daily crosswords.

For those checking the comments, some spoilers to answers may be present, so please proceed into the comments with caution.

Link to all the daily crosswords:

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!

I love when the theme of the NYT crossword only presents itself at the end. Today's is exceptionally clever.

Indeed! Was fun and definitely helped me solve the clues I was stuck in.

Nice. 50s here, would've been about 46 but I put the wrong letter in bottom left like a fool (despite being very familiar with the term for 6d)

50s here as well!

Typo'd 8A in my case 😅
