NYT Crossword Clues Spark Solvers' Fury

EXCLUSIVE: NYT CROSSWORD CLUES GET SHOCKINGLY SNARKY—SOLVERS OUTRAGED!

By Tina Buzzword

NEW YORK— The New York Times crossword puzzle—long revered as the gold standard of brain-teasing wordplay—has taken a dark turn, leaving solvers fuming over what they call 'elitist,' 'obscure,' and downright 'sassy' clues.

'Too Clever for Its Own Good?'

Fans were stunned this week when the clue 'It might turn into a different story' was revealed to mean 'LIE'—as in, a fib that spirals out of control.

'Come ON,' groaned one frustrated solver on Reddit. 'I spent 20 minutes thinking it was about a book adaptation!'

Meanwhile, Monday’s puzzle allegedly included the sneaky clue 'Grocery chain with a mascot named 'Joy''—which, bafflingly, was 'ALDI' and not, as many guessed, Trader Joe’s.

The Constructor Strikes Back

Insiders whisper that the puzzle’s editors have been pushing constructors to make clues 'more playful'—but some say they’ve crossed into 'straight-up trolling.'

One infamous example? The clue 'It's not working' for 'YOURBRAIN'—which solvers called 'a personal attack.'

Celeb Solvers Weigh In

Even famous crossword addicts are getting fed up. Comedian John Mulaney reportedly threw his pen down after failing to parse 'Bandleader called 'The King of Swing'' as 'ARTIE' (short for Artie Shaw).

'I thought it was Benny Goodman!' he allegedly yelled at his coffee table.

Will the NYT Apologize?

As of press time, the puzzle’s editors remain unrepentant, with one insider smugly noting: 'If they can’t handle ‘Easter egg hunts, often’ being ‘DADS,’ maybe they should stick to Wordle.'

ONE THING’S FOR SURE—this crossword drama is far from 'OVER' (3 letters, starts with ‘D’).
