[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYT crosswords require a symmetrical pattern. If there is a five-letter horizontal word in the upper right corner, there has to be a five-letter horizontal word in the lower left corner. This kind of whirlpool pattern is pretty common, and as others have said, it was an extra-large Sunday puzzle, so any “shapes” would be more defined. I see a flower when I look at those, and I was more peeved about the inclusion of non-words like “Halloweekend” than whatever shapes pop up if I were to take a marker and color in so,e of the boxes.[/quote]

So still no examples of this common puzzle shape to post?[/quote]

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

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

BTW, wordle was "third" today. Dismissed as coincidence?[/quote]

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

[b]Really doubt the Wordle was "third" because it was the third day of Hanukkah[/b] 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.[/quote]

Uh…it probably was, though. As another PP pointed out, on Thanksgiving it was “feast”. Wordle does thematic or seasonal answers sometimes.

As to the swastika design…that is nonsense. Anyone who does crosswords on a regular basis, especially in the NYT, is familiar with the spiral pattern.[/quote]
