I may be instructing the Butler not to open the door when the USA Today crossword comes knocking. There weren’t any deadly crossings, but the unfamiliar cluing style and the three out-there entries slowed me down to about 3:50, longer than the standard Monday-to-Wednesday puzzles. “I have been around longer” = “I am older”? Fail. This fails the substitution rule as well as violating the part-of-speech equivalency rule.

Oh, look: the word “bread” also appears in a theme entry. The ultimate word and knowledge challenge. I do know the BAOBAB tree and think it’s a terrifically cool word-but it rarely shows up in the other mainline crosswords. Play crossword puzzles and games from USA TODAY Crossword is a fun and engaging free online game. This answer makes 19A: KRAIT,, seem much more accessible. I’ve seen REBEC in crosswords (and it’s not the sort of answer a constructor wants to include), but never REBECK. Even changing the BEAR to BROWN would make for a less jarring combination of colors. Black, gray, white…and green? Red, green, blue, and yellow make a great foursome, and black, gray, and white make a great trio.

GRAYBEARDS is one word, while the other three are two-word terms. Download USA TODAY Crossword and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.Today’s puzzle by Alice Walker (not, I don’t think, the author of The Color Purple) is called “Color Coded” and the theme entries are BLACK BEAR, GRAYBEARDS, WHITE BREAD, and GREEN BEAN. Like others who wouldn’t do the puzzle if they had to track it down or if it weren’t available in Across Lite, I wouldn’t seek out the USA Today crossword.īut Tyler Hinman and Jeffrey Krasnick are so entertaining when pointing out (via Twitter) the woeful fill and themes they find in the USA Today and Universal crosswords (both edited by the same person), so I had to at least give USA Today a shot. Now that I have a shiny new Mac running on an Intel chip, I downloaded Alex Boisvert’s Crossword Butler tool to fetch Across Lite versions of crosswords.
