I mean, it's a cute coincidence, but that's all it is. Loved seeing POMODORO, but OLIVEOIL is the equivalent of EPEE where eight-letter answers are concerned, so I don't know that the corner is really elevated by pretending that you meant for those two answers to be thematically complementary. It tries to do a little pasta dance there in the NE, but for me all that does is detract from from the only really interesting Down in the whole puzzle. Nothing really wrong with this puzzle (besides the repulsive 1-Across). And it opens so badly-with a faux-chummy corporate slogan for a company whose dystopian "smart devices" essentially have much of the world voluntarily treating a powerful surveillance company like a friendly household assistant-that the puzzle would've needed a whole lot of oomph to recover. Not enough marquee punch to really get off the ground. And if you’re still hankering for more puzzles, and you missed the window on Ravensburger orders, take a shot at The New Yorker’s digital jigsaw.Two good answers ( "THE SKY'S THE LIMIT!" / "YOU WON'T REGRET IT!") with a lot of Yawn in between.

You can now collaboratively solve our crosswords, from a C.D.C.-approved distance, with someone across the room, the city, or the world. In the spirit of virtual togetherness, we’re delighted to introduce a new feature of The New Yorker Crossword: Partner Mode. If you’re a Melville scholar who can’t tell an APSE from a NAVE, and your solving partner is an architect who’s never read OMOO or TYPEE, two heads will be better than one. They’re not alone: many of us prefer to huddle up with a friend, roommate, or relative-or the potentially riskier “couples solve”-to conquer a grid.
In the video above, Anna Shechtman recalls courting a college sweetheart through crosswords Erik Agard is grateful for the sympatico souls he’s met in the puzzle community. But, for others, the joy of puzzling is a social one. Solving a crossword is, for some, a solitary pursuit: a retreat from the messy social world into the inward realm of the mind. Tournaments and Twitter notwithstanding, crossword enthusiasts, like Trappist monks or novelists, don’t exactly have a reputation for extroversion. When the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament-an event that usually draws hundreds of solvers and constructors to a hotel in Stamford, Connecticut-was postponed last month, resourceful participants staged an impromptu “Crossword Tournament From Your Couch,” live-tweeting commentary and results. Many of us, jittery and housebound, are seeking solace in jigsaw puzzles, sales of which have skyrocketed, or in the virtual landscapes of Animal Crossing. The coronavirus-quarantine era has been a heyday for puzzles and games. Social dynamics of the crossworld, a crossword meet-cute, and other ways to puzzle with friends while social-distancing.
