Washington post mini crossword

The Santa Barbara—based singer-songwriter, investment fund founder, and former Princeton math major had a unique side hustle that he wanted help with: constructing crossword puzzles. White began interning with Muller that spring, and together they invented a new kind of puzzle series for The Washington Post : the daily mini meta. The series consists of six 5x5 puzzles, with one puzzle published daily from Monday through Saturday. Since it launched in March , the daily mini meta has seen a percent increase in the number of daily solvers. In fact, it was so successful that Muller offered White a full-time position, which White accepted, deferring his junior year at Princeton. The Post has since picked up the series through To create the mini meta, Muller and White first have to generate a final solution. Muller and White cite their different skill sets as a reason their collaboration is so gratifying. White is big on language and puns; Muller is a music lover with a knack for math and business. We do that for each other in a great way. He texted White the issue; White suggested changing one letter of the solution word so that it would be the name of a reasonably identifiable — or at least Googleable — rap artist named Bhad Bhabie. Problem solved, and interesting new tidbit learned. With White back at Princeton this fall, the duo is looking to recruit other like-minded cruciverbalists to join their informal crossword club, where they share work and solicit guidance and mentorship.

Tripping up on one clue can be the difference between a personal best completion time and an embarrassing solve attempt. The gods have taken over the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle royale map, bringing a ton of new visual flairs across the game world and some fresh locations based on ancient Greek mythology, like Mount Olympus and the Underworld. There's a lot of cool new stuff to see, but there are also some exciting godly items that have been added to the loot pool this season: Thunderbolt of Zeus and Wings of Icarus. If you want to take flight with the Wings of Icarus, we've got all the info you need about this item below. They can also rarely be found on the ground and in standard or rare chests. This incredibly fun mobility item lets you press the fire button to begin flying through the air. You'll start with charges that will count down rapidly as you're soaring around, but it's usually enough to take you pretty far across the map when you need to reposition or escape the incoming storm. However, it's worth noting that the relatively slow speed of taking off and flying doesn't make the Wings of Icarus the best mid-battle escape tool, so it's not usually wise to use it while you're being shot at. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is underway and has brought with it some significant changes to the battle royale map that should shake up things quite a lot.

This puzzle works well for them. Thank you. If I remember, I'll try that next week. Post by Hector » Fri Mar 05, pm. But we make sure that most three- and four-letter words are not part of the meta clue. Post by ricky » Fri Mar 12, pm. The puzzles are undergoing a three-month trial, and the Post will continue if they get a good response. I thought I was just "trying the meta" but maybe I read the directions incorrectly. Many thanks to Pete and the Post solicits your feedback. Quickly corrected! Second, the grids are small: just 25 squares. Post by whimsy » Sat Jun 26, pm. A nice chewy bite of a meta.

That probably sounds involved. Has Andrew White published puzzles anywhere else? Kind of advanced, in my opinion. Sort of like Mad Libs. Post by Cindy » Tue Mar 02, am. I correctly identified the five words ahead of time, but the Saturday mini took me about twice as long as usual. Is it intended to draw in non-solvers? Maybe part of the fun can be in seeing how many days it takes to guess what Pete is after. Post by whimsy » Sat Mar 13, pm. Post by whimsy » Sat Mar 20, pm. That title needs a little unpacking.
