@NYTGames Maintain my crossword streak all year. It's a habit now (I'm almost to 1000), so that should be an easy one. I'll also go for breaking my record time for each day except Thursday.
@thegridkid@jackie_frere@NYTGames Can the comments be opened back up now? The forum is not just for reporting issues, it's for us to interact with each other, and we can't do that now.
@thegridkid But thank you so much for finally accepting NA7 - I'm almost never annoyed when a word is left out of Spelling Bee because I understand why, but that one was upsetting for some reason. Maybe because I'm a huge Star Trek fan. ๐
@thegridkid@NYTGames I enjoyed the puzzle! As someone who loves solving but is nowhere near the skill level of your average ACPT attendee, I was happy to get through it with only a few googles. I enjoyed the article, too - it's fun to get a glimpse of the constructing process!
@MauriceAshley I'm happy for your new course, but SO sad to see you leave commentating. You made it as exciting to watch chess as it is to watch a football game. When it comes to chess commentary, you are the GOAT.
@thegridkid Oh, I didn't find out about it until today! Standing in solidarity would have been a tough choice, though - not doing the Games would have meant breaking my crossword streak.
@DebAmlen Congratulations!! I'm on a similar journey after growing way way too sedentary during the pandemic. I've biked 25 miles in a day, but not all at once. :) Trying to gradually increase my step count during the weekdays as well. Keep up the good work!!
