Antisemitism and the NYT crossword

[Anonymous]

OP is ridiculous
If you fill the crossword puzzle horizontally, then you do not get any symbol
You have to be very careful and selective with your down only options to get any kind of symbol out of this

So still no examples of this common puzzle shape to post?

After you light the third candle, Google "common crossword puzzle shapes" and see what you can find.

So, no examples still. It's not up to me to prove your assertion.

BTW, wordle was "third" today. Dismissed as coincidence?

Wordle often has words that relate to what day it is. You get that, right?

What is this about Roger Waters ????
No one is denying antisemitism exists but to see it everywhere demeans it. You know the second biggest threat to world peace today is the Israeli attack on Palestinian human rights. Quit gaslighting with pathetic distractions!

Omg yes I see Roger Waters fights for Palestinian civil rights and freedom!! Got it. So you trot out the old Anti Semite trope that no one believes, got it. It’s ok! We see through it.

And on Thanksgiving it was “Feast.” Whatever is your point?

Not OP. Things aren't accidental at the NYT. They have an editorial board. Previous posters claimed NYT couldn't review Wordle content due to the administrative burden. It's clear they they do to avoid offending certain groups. Now it appears that they pander to particular groups when they feel bad about their actions.

DP. You’re exhausting, that’s probably why nobody is interested in doing research for you.

Not OP. Still waiting to see other examples of this common crossword puzzle design. The claim is that it's common. An extraordinary claim like this needs proof.

I can’t read these responses without thinking this is satire.

I do not disagree that antisemitism is a problem but ... C'mon.

We're really reaching with this one.

Really doubt the Wordle was "third" because it was the third day of Hanukkah OR in commemoration of the Third Reich.

Again, as a Jew working in the national media (who's seen and heard more than my fair share of conspiracy theories about how the Jews control the press), I'm having a really hard time imagining that the New York Times is somehow the center of a neo-Nazi plot to put swastikas in the Sunday paper to spoil everyone's latkes.

Well... I know Wordle has an editor. Since the Wordle dictionary is about 2300 words and we are talking about one day (lunar) year, it's very unlikely "third" was a random selection.

This made me laugh. I think you're right, too.

What's the first biggest threat to world peace? I'd love to see this list!

Who's first? Saudi Arabia? China? Russia? The US?
