There weren’t any deadly crossings, but the unfamiliar cluing style and the three out-there entries slowed me down to about 3:50, longer than the standard Monday-to-Wednesday puzzles. “I have been around longer” = “I am older”? Fail. This fails the substitution rule as well as violating the part-of-speech equivalency rule. Oh, look: the word “bread” also appears in a theme entry.

I do know the BAOBAB tree and think it’s a terrifically cool word-but it rarely shows up in the other mainline crosswords. a full keyboard, hints, a timer, and more. This answer makes 19A: KRAIT,, seem much more accessible. I’ve seen REBEC in crosswords (and it’s not the sort of answer a constructor wants to include), but never REBECK. Even changing the BEAR to BROWN would make for a less jarring combination of colors. Black, gray, white…and green? Red, green, blue, and yellow make a great foursome, and black, gray, and white make a great trio. GREEN BEAN, on the other hand, really should be used in the plural, as people seldom contend with just a single green bean.GRAYBEARDS is one word, while the other three are two-word terms.Today’s puzzle by Alice Walker (not, I don’t think, the author of The Color Purple) is called “Color Coded” and the theme entries are BLACK BEAR, GRAYBEARDS, WHITE BREAD, and GREEN BEAN. Like others who wouldn’t do the puzzle if they had to track it down or if it weren’t available in Across Lite, I wouldn’t seek out the USA Today crossword.īut Tyler Hinman and Jeffrey Krasnick are so entertaining when pointing out (via Twitter) the woeful fill and themes they find in the USA Today and Universal crosswords (both edited by the same person), so I had to at least give USA Today a shot. USA Today has ended its relationship with its longtime crossword puzzle editor after an investigation by ESPNs FiveThirtyEight exposed on-going plagiarism. Crossword is a classic puzzle that continues.
