Always the trade-offs.Įntertaining Monday, and I appreciated that there was only one region of possible user ERROR. Note that this would create four more three-letter words, though, and Tracy is already at 20 (editors tend to balk at 22ish). Moving HONEY BOO-BOO down one row would help the south region since filling a constrained 4x5 chunk is much easier than a 5x5. Crossing it with YA-YAS is borderline unfair, as LOIRD and YO-YAS is a defensible guess. The only entry that made me SALTY was LAIRD, which is potentially tough for newer solvers - at least, non-Scottish ones. Hardly a miss with the gridwork, which isn't always easy with left-right symmetry. SHOT PAR and CABOOSE are outstanding bonuses, but they obfuscated OLE MISS. One way to make OLE MISS stand out is to place it in the center of the puzzle, ensuring that there isn't any Across fill that's 7 letters or longer.

GIVE THE PINK SLIP 15 and JACKSON MISS 11 would work, but the former is a downer, and the latter's abbreviation makes it inelegant. NYTimes, one of the most popular newspapers in the US and the world, continues to publish popular crosswords for decades. Mirror sym isn't simply pretty, though - Tracy didn't have any flexibility in SAN ANDREAS FAULT 15 (few other fault lines are as well-known) and HONEY BOO-BOO 11, so regular symmetry would demand that _ SLIP and _ MISS match lengths at 15 and 11. Great way to add a dash of solving pleasure. This often allows for a happy face made of black squares, and I found myself smiling along. Take a moment to admire the beautiful left-right (mirror) symmetry.
