A very basic puzzle, with a revealer that feels more awkward than clever. I’ve never heard the act of putting something in a box called “blocking”. Maybe if you think of the box as a “block” that helps a bit, but still asking me to read the revealer as instructions (“how to fill in some squares…”) is asking a lot. This is a very sad use of Peanuts, a comic I love. Just a bunch of heads in boxes. I wonder if this started as a “Se7en” puzzle (probably not – too scary for NYTXW).

Also unpleasant was the fully written SHAKING MY HEAD. It’s a very common expression on social media, but “common” now only in its abbreviated form “smh.” SMH will be a *great* fill-in. KEEPING YOUR HEAD feels oddly formal and impractical and not (in practice) anything. Lastly, in terms of awkwardness, there’s a ton of theme-length filler that does absolutely no theme work. Those long Through NE and SW are as long as the first and last temer, but … there is no [HEAD]. Those answers end up being probably the cleanest and most attractive padding, but it’s still weird to have topic-length answers in topic positions and then … no topic. The biggest problem for me, in general, was how basic and simple and easy to untangle the whole [HEAD] rebus. I got here:

And then I realized it was just going to be [CHAPTER] after [CHAPTER] after [CHAPTER], without any other puzzle answers coming into play, here:

This left nothing very interesting to discover. The overall quality of the filling is ok, about average. But that means the theme has to shine, and it certainly tries to, with that revealer, but it doesn’t quite pull it off. So there isn’t much excitement to be had unless you count on getting a “thrill”. I was excited to “know” [the Indian rice dish] today – I’ve seen it in puzzles before. But when I went to write it, I found that I was quite sure of one little letter. So I wrote in BIR-YANI (which is basically what it sounds like in my head) and believed that the cross I was missing would be clear. And let me tell you, it wasn’t. I think NIKKI is a *nice* crossword answer. I’m all about all things NZ, and it’s cool to bring an uncommonly spelled name and a female director’s name to the web. But… back to the “unusually written” part. If you don’t know her name (I don’t), then you have to infer things, and figuring out the last vowel was, shall we say, an adventure. So much adventure that I was honestly just trying to decide between ‘A’ and ‘O’ for a bit before deciding that neither looked right in an Indian rice dish and then running out the other vowels. I hit ‘me’ and thought ‘that has to be: NIKKI / BIRYANI . And I was right. But that cross will break many people today. I guarantee it. Both answers are good crosswords, but to cross them on that vowel … that’s rude.

The only other question I remember coming up immediately where I wrote in DAVID on 1A: Michelangelo’s only signed work, but even as I wrote it I thought “that could be PIETÀ” – I tend to think of PIETÀ as A *sort of* work of art, not a single work of art, but I guess Michelangelo just did that? Um, no, he seems to have done several works on the same subject (ie Mary holding the dead body of Jesus), but apparently the artwork in question is *The* PIETÀ. It looks like this. Cryptic crossword puzzles may seem completely impenetrable to beginners, but anyone can learn to solve them. Here you’ll find a quick introduction to the most common clue types and how they work. After reading this, you’ll have everything you need to get started with cryptic crosswords. They can be tricky at first, but with a little patience and persistence, you’ll soon get the hang of it.

New Scientist’s cryptic crosswords follow the same rules as those in other UK publications. Many of our clues and answers will include some scientific general knowledge, so it helps if you’re a regular reader of the

Or other popular science material, but you don’t need a degree or professional knowledge to get most of the answers. If the answer is an obscure word, the setter will usually make the pun relatively clear, so it’s possible to work out the answer even if you don’t know the word. And feel free to consider things – the only person who can decide what counts as cheating is you!

Part of the clue will be the definition of the answer or tell you its meaning in a more or less direct way. This section will either be at the beginning or end of the trace. The rest of the clue will be a form of wordplay that will lead you to the answer in a more roundabout way. For example:

Fortnite And The Legend Of Zelda, For Two

It is common to replace the word in the sign with an abbreviation in the answer, so “energy” here means E, as in E=mc2. Putting the E in Nice, the name of a French city, makes VUBABA, which is also given the definition of “relative.”

When reading a term, it’s usually best to start by guessing which part is the definition and which part requires you to do some wordplay. You’ll get better at this with practice, but an easy way to tell the difference is by looking for wordplay indicators—words or phrases that are a sure sign that something crypto is going on. In the examples below, the clues include only one type of pun, but you’ll often find that the clues combine more than one type.

Some letters or words in the clue need to be rearranged to form the answer. Anagrams can be denoted by words like bad or broken, or words that refer to change or movement. Emphasis has been added below the anagram indicator words.

The answer lies somewhere in the concept. This can be indicated by a word like hidden, or a word like some or part. Again, the word indicator is highlighted below.

How Word Lists Help — Or Hurt — Crossword Puzzles

A clue refers to a word that sounds like the word in the answer. This can be indicated by words such as reported, heard or in a podcast.

If the answer has a double meaning, the term may give you two different definitions. If the term is only two words, there is a good chance that it is a double definition. Very occasionally, you may see a term that is a triple definition.

An American experiencing sudden withdrawal? (6) YANKEE (the question mark indicates that this is not a normal use of the word yankee, but a fictional one.)

The answer is divided into two or more pieces and a clue is given for each piece. The pieces can be listed in order, or the clue can use words like before or after to tell you which pieces go where.

How Crossword Puzzles Are Getting More Diverse

A clue can refer to a longer word or phrase, part of which must be deleted to get the answer. Deletion can be indicated by removed, lost, no, headless if the first letter is deleted, infinity if the last letter is deleted, heartless if the middle letter or letters are deleted, and so on.

Lose your wife significantly when you pass retirement age (6) EIGHTY (weight with the w removed for wife)

A clue refers to a word or words that spell the answer backwards. This can be denoted by back, spin, around and so on. If the word is an answer to a term for down, a turn can be indicated by up or lift, etc.

The answer is divided into two parts, one inside the other. A term can use words like in, in, around, eating, covering, absorbing and so on.
