Thanks everyone and to UT Linguistics for being an incredible place to work! It's staggering to think of all the mentors and many collaborators involved in helping getting to this point.

Please do some crosswords for science! https://t.co/hOlwx52NAy
We're studying how people solve xwords, and we are looking for solvers of all experience levels: from novices to ACPTers. High-quality puzzles generously provided by the wonderful https://t.co/OSzFSiG8oU team.

I find today’s crossword puzzle particularly challenging. Anyone else?

Thank you @kevanchoset and Jeffrey for the onesie!

If you like crosswords or you like Robbie Kubala, this paper in the British Journal of Aesthetics is for you!

[Finn Vigeland @fvigeland]

Can crosswords be a source of aesthetic value? What makes a puzzle “elegant”? Are my friends extremely thoughtful and talented? Find out in this fascinating paper by the inimitable Robbie Kubala! https://t.co/qesB2ljqGV

@fvigeland @ambivalentricky Ok, you know Robbie — you don’t have to show off.

@Adam__Wagner @NewYorker Amazing. After 17A, I wanted 25A to start with THLYNAQ (rot13).

Congrats, @natanlast ! Everyone read this!

@davidkwong @thegridkid @NYTGames @nytimes Yas queeeen!

@Footnote24 I used the more prominent of the pairs in a NY Sun xword theme in '06 (along with "¡Three Amigos! actors Martin"; "Sunday night HBO hit creators David"; and "NBC late night talk show hosts Carson")

@tinmanic @Hero_Complex @actual_anna @kmahowald @natanlast Agree w you re “dawter”. But I’m also “wawter”.

[Kevan Choset @kevanchoset]

@tinmanic @Hero_Complex @actual_anna @kmahowald @natanlast Wait. “Water” and “daughter” don’t rhyme?!

[Kevan Choset @kevanchoset]

@Hero_Complex @actual_anna @kmahowald @natanlast I feel like I’m being punked. They’re totally different vowels!! The one in “song” is the same as the one in “coffee”, “Broadway”, “daughter”, and “water”, which, in these parts, is pronounced “awwwww”

[Kevan Choset @kevanchoset]

@fvigeland Wait there was a LearnedLeague yesterday?

[Kevan Choset @kevanchoset]

@TrudeauRoss No. No.
