ABSOLUTELY LIVID that my Freedom Of Information Act request for NYT xword rejection statistics was denied bc my Jeep Wrangler( with Billy mays decal) failed emissions inspection at Meineke Car Care Center location #516 in Reno. Meineke #517 only opens at 9am so if anyone has the nyt data just dm me

landed my first Gig with a local business! 😸 it's a deal to print m ypuzzles on the napkins that come with meals from the Mr Beast Ghost Kitchen, but all that matters rn is, the 'exposure'"

JANUARY 2026: "Yes ! its perfect! one clue on every bus in the city, forming one grand puzzle! the streets will by my grid ! the world will be abuzz!"

APRIL 2026: [All the clues have been vandalized to say shit like 'Po o is me" in a way such as erasure poetry]

been pinned to the wine bar by Larvis for 22 minutes now as he walks me thru rejected theme set about TYPES OF KNOT . Across the room i see a woman take the second-to- last white cheddar cube and i try to telegraph “save me one” with my eyes but she just smiles and Eats it Whole

see you in the ACPT lobby ! i' ll be running my classic game "Dox My Enemies" and i brougt a big list this time

dose aonyone going to stamford have Free space in their car. Just me my bag and 1400 copies of my self-Published book “19th century Romanian History Cryptograms (2nd ed; slurs removed in this one)”. they kicked me off the amtrak at Fargo ND but i could hitchhike to St.paul if u can get me from there

ah yes. time for the annual E-Mail from stamford marriott hospitality saying they want me gone , and will be filling my room with Ants to try and chase me out. oh BooHoo Big Deal. you think i've never filled a room with Ants before

i enjoy when one of you lot likes so many of my Posts in a row. t)hank you And sorry youre in Line somewhere or in a tunnel where no other page is loading

You know, the New Yorker rejection letter is actually quite beautful . it arrives on nice thick stationery and smells like lavender and says “We admire the craftsmanship of your puzzle but have electèd to set it on fire”

in order to avoid insidious US-centric thought shaping our constructors mind's i have been calling a Utah a "skinny La Pampa" . and encourage youo to do the sam e 🤗

THEY TRIED PUTTING ME ON ARTEMIS II TO KEEP ME AS FAR AWAY FROM ACPT AS POSSIBLE!! BUT I ROLLED OUT OF THE CARGO BAY IN THE CLOUD OF EXHAUST!! I WIN AGAIN SHORTZ I WIN AGAIN!!!

If I ever become Famous for my other ventures (stage acting, snow-globe manufacturing, etcet) you better not fucking put my name in any puzzles unless its a Good One. I canNot be seen skeeting "Omg guys I'm a clue in the crossword today! 😍🫶🏄" and it’s a fucking vowel progression

[doing a Live puzzle breakdown on twitch] so as you can see the constructor seeded this corner with TEETOTALER— [my chair breaks and i fall through the floor into the apartment below where a family is eating beanie weenies for dinner] sorry. As i was saying . TEETOTALER is really pulling it together

CONSTRUCTOR TIP: submit your puzzle and then do Not read your email for 6 to 8 months , so that every time your phone buzzes you can briefly beleieve it’s an acceptance before seeing its actually a Dave & busters Coupon

i would like to apologize to the Pips community . i didnt do anything but i'm sure something has Happened

recent feedback has made me realize my puzzles are " bad" and "not fun to solve ". as such i will be pausing operations on my website. April Fools Sucker. i realized this years ago but im still crankjng that slop out

[email im BCC'd on] Hi constructors! Just letting you all know we're pausing submissions for the month of March, as well as April and every month after. Basically my mom found out my LinkedIn says "crossword artisan" and she's making me interview at Burger King

incensed by but one more rejection, i snap. i post paragraph on paragraph in Crosscord with every grievance i have with the so-called " experts" who have done naught for me and describe (in great Detail) the ill i wish upon them. evanTADC2008 reacts with [MAYBE FOR AN INDIE]

new ARM angle just dropped!! i've snapped it in a 327° arc after a Parkour accident. please call an doctor.

i like to feed the Word Gobelin . he chews the long entries into tiny pellets and fires them into the dry wall where they sprout into rebus spores. so, how are you doing Janet,

"Hey! Just sending a proof to show we tweaked a few clues" that's fine "And we refilled this corner" that's fine "And we took possession of your house" that's fine "And we trapped you in a mirror so we could live your life" that's fine

my Skeets do shit in the trash but i’ll have you know my Twitter slop account “NYT Crossword Moments That Defined Your Childhood” 1M+ followers delivers heater after heater

I Used to think Crosswords were the best format for Telling Jokes. now i realize Jokes are the best format for telling Jokes.

enraged that my midi submission (bottom-left 9x9 corner of the CLINTON/BOBDOLE puzzle ) was rejected. i thought you all Loved that crosswrod

guy at Shreveport XW Meetup said he solves 3 puzzles/day "Pairs blindfolded". When i asked what that meant he said his wife shouts the Clues aloud and he answers from the other room and she fills them in & their completion rate is 6% but 'the Communication aspect has really helped our marriage '
