Lassi is a mixture of yoghurt, water, spices and sometimes fruit. Namkeen (savory) lassi is similar to doogh, while sweet and mango lassi resemble milkshakes. Lassi can be infused with cannabis in the form of bhang. Chaasis a similar drink of a thinner consistency. (wikipedia) (my emph.)

Person Of Letters Crossword

It’s stupid how good this grid is. This is the kind of entertainment I seek and hope for on Fridays. It’s so unusual to have that much nerve and bounce back from a Saturday. I like Saturdays, but they can feel a little more taxing as the index deliberately tilts harder. Exhaustion can sap the zing a bit, otherwise, I don’t understand why Saturdays should be duller than Fridays. They just feel like that. Usually. But not today, because I literally yelled “Wow” or some variation of “Wow” at least three times, and rarely got that “really?” feeling. Besides, I don’t think I winced once. Too busy enjoying the longer filling, which shines everywhere. I was a bit reluctant at the ADULT SITE. I think I’m used to people being more outspoken and calling them PORN SITES. And “I WANNA LOOK” sounds realistic, but only a little -ish: I can hear “I WANNA SEE!” much easier in my head. It’s really hard to tell which phrase is more common because Google searches show tons of results for both, but it’s usually because they found longer phrases that just start with “I WANT. ..” Still, it’s a bit suspicious that when I google “I WANNA LOOK”, near the top of the results list is an answering bot site NYTXW. But I was wrong here: the puzzle is extremely enjoyable. It single-handedly raises the standard of pure Saturday fun. Saturday is the new Friday! (But Friday is also always Friday – never change, Friday!)

How To Solve The New York Times Crossword

It’s about as beautiful a northwest corner as you’ll ever see. I thought it was going to be way too easy to open. TRIX to XANADU was instantaneous, bam bam. Then I got a little help from a very useful crossword puzzle (thanks, OOXTEPLERNON, God of Bad Short Fill™!), namely ADEN and ICED LATTE came shortly after, but my first passes to the first two Acrosses did not give anything. Then I had the short Downs at the end (ADT LIT KEEPS) and saw TRASH TALK. “Ooh, good,” I thought (I had already thought [Take pregame shots?] was going to have something to do with booze). But then the pace really dropped when the last thing that appeared up there was RIDE-OR-DIE. That’s when I said, “oh, wow.” TRASH TALK + RIDE-OR-DIE + ICED LATTE – it’s not just a mood, it’s a music video. It’s a fucking rock opera. I would have been happy to stop there. Perfect corner that unfolds perfectly.

But it turns out there was more ADRENALINE to feel, right next to ADRENALINE, in fact. When I dropped SEEMS LEGIT in there, like with RIDE-OR-DIE, I thought “this is the crossword puzzle change I want to see in the world!” I also like that the ADRENALINE falls on the side of the grid and its clue is *on* the fall, i.e. skydiving (14D: something released during skydiving). The third and final exclamation point came after I was intrigued by LAS – at 40D: team game played in the dark; I had to fight to get ahead because I didn’t really know NOEL (I had NEIL there for a while) (52A: Name derived from Latin for “to be born”), and WOOLEN was also a struggle (probably the hardest clue in the puzzle for me) (47D: Warm, in a way). But somehow I got ORATES, then it was “MEAN GIRLS”, then I looked back at the LAS response, and with the “G” terminal up, I got finally realized I was dealing with LASER TAG, which was another aha, which makes three true AHAS in this puzzle, which actually drives me less crazy than I normally would with a weird plural like AHAS (21D: sparks mental). Thought I might be in for a tougher time in the SW as I had to get back to it (from Acrosses back ends) but -OP made me ALCOPOP and that first “O” gave me OTTO and all the coin fell apart despite the fact that I’ve never heard of MARIO PARTY (which was hugely inferable – I guessed the MARIO part before I even realized the clue went back to LUIGI). Started with TRIX, finished with MIC, which is appropriate, since this puzzle was very colorful (like TRIX), and overall it’s something like a drop in MIC. Good luck, future Saturdays! More of this vibe, please. Six letters: “Distinguishing features of Marcus Garvey’s helmet.” Seven letters: “Online magazine co-founded by Henry Louis Gates Jr.” Nine letters: “Civil rights icon who led historic march from Selma to Montgomery on 3/7/1965.” Eleven letters: “Underground rap? 11 other letters: “2017 hit by Cardi B.”

The crossword puzzle community buzzed with approval when The New York Times kicked off Black History Month in February with a week of puzzles built by black builders.

Like many long-standing cultural institutions and media outlets, the history of beloved crossword puzzles (and the people who make and publish them) reveals a history of inherent exclusion. The old contours of the canon – literature, history, trends, anecdotes – are again sifted through: when is a trove of facts “common knowledge” and who, exactly, can assume it? The answer was once white (and often male) editors. It was up to the solvers to deduce reasonable answers to make these empty squares whole.

Succulent “FEATHERS” adorned the helmet of Garvey, the political activist. Gates co-founded “THEROOT”. Of course, “JOHNLEWIS” was the civil rights leader who led Selma’s historic march – Lewis was the whole subject of a jigsaw puzzle. If you were looking for rap subgenres, don’t bother: “SECRETKNOCK” was the nifty pun answer for “Underground rap?” And the song coming out of each speaker in the summer of 2017? It was “BODAKYELLOW” by Cardi B.

Of course, it’s possible that these clues have appeared in other recent puzzles. But they rarely do – all but “FEATHERS” made their first appearance as a response. The feedback from some solvers and editors dedicated to black builders is perhaps predictable. Words such as “obscure” and “alienating” are thrown around in the name of the supposed “average solver”.

Kameron Austin Collins, a Rolling Stone film critic who constructed The Times puzzle for February 6, a Saturday (usually the hardest weekday puzzle), is only half joking when he observes that he is hard to find more than six black builders who regularly work in the crossword puzzle scene.

“People already knew who the Friday and Saturday builders were going to be,” says Collins, who also contributes to The New Yorker puzzles. “They knew when Erik [Agard] showed up on Friday, I was going to show up on Saturday because there are so few black people posting [crossword puzzles] to The Times.”

American crossword solvers usually pick up their newspaper or phone and solve one of the few puzzles. The community that makes them, solves them, follows them, and promotes their merits is a world unto itself, perhaps ripe for “Queen’s Gambit”-style dramatization.

Most American newspapers publish syndicated crossword puzzles, usually built by independent contributors. The Washington Post publishes the daily Los Angeles Times puzzle, which is syndicated by the Tribune Content Agency; these puzzles come from a submission process open to all builders. (The Post’s Sunday Magazine puzzle is constructed by Evan Birnholz.)

But more often than not, it’s what The New York Times does (or doesn’t) do with its 15-by-15-square (21-by-21 on a Sunday) ink block that dominates any discussion between crossword makers and the fans. A crossword reflects life as it is lived and understood in certain contexts – what you eat, read, hear, look at and see in the world.

“The New York Times is a cottage industry,” Collins says of the brand’s annual puzzle books and app subscriptions. “It’s so important for us to show our faces in this space if we’re going to work on the effort to build other underrepresented people. Because if there’s one riddle they’ll stumble upon first, it’s probably The New York Times. We have to be there.
