#Strands

[vonlipvig]

wordle: my wife of many, many years. simple, but reliable. knows that no matter what, i always come back to her.

connections: my mistress, exciting and unforgettable. a definite thrill, but puzzling, keeps playing with my head.

mini crossword: the woman i see on the train every day, our eyes meeting before she disembarks. alluring and promising, but fleeting.

strands: coworker i fuck in the storeroom, only to regret it later. weird, probably drunk. very flexible.

We moved on too fast from this.

January 26, the Strands puzzle was Nic and Luke coded. Literally. On the first line was “Nic” and the second line “Luke.”

I would have moved on faster from this, but let’s face it, Nic has mentioned the NYT Wordle at least twice and the NYT Crosswords at least once. She likes the Times’ puzzle section.

So why not include their names in the Strands puzzle? It’s as plain as day!

(I’m not saying they had anything to do with this. But if they didn’t, the puzzle creators are Lukola fans.

In case you haven't heard, the NYT Tech Guild is on strike and trying to get a fair contract.

They are asking us to support their picket line by NOT using the NYT Games or Cooking Apps.

More information on how to support the strike below.

FOLLOW/SHARE

If you would like to follow their strike efforts you can find updates on Instagram or TikTok

DON'T CROSS PICKET LINES

They have been kind enough to create a Strike Friendly version of some of the NYT Games that we are allowed to play. They've even included some recipes for NYT Cooking users! You can enjoy them here!

DONATE

If you find yourself able to financially support the strike fund, they are accepting donations here.
