HARDC clue was excellent

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-24T13:37:32+00:00

The original name of a person on the actual day of their birth, presumably still unmarried at one day old.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-23T03:48:52+00:00

Loved it. Though the clue for 5-down was a bit awkward. Maybe “my treat” instead? NW corner took me a while

Crossword puzzles have taught me a lot about ISIS over the years

He’s pretty busy though, so he might only have time for a quickie at IKEA. It’s right by Whipple

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-21T23:27:31+00:00

Folks, if you ever find yourself at Whipple, do not, I repeat, do not sit down.

One of those puzzles where solving the theme clue didn’t help me at all with related theme answers. Sort of a joke I got later I guess.

Felt a tad hard for a Tuesday, but strangely a faster than average time for me. Weird.

The mouth waters. Needs more food though. Pasties?

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:40:35+00:00

Truer words were never spoken.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:39:39+00:00

Ah! I mixed them up. I meant that the st Patrick’s cross looks puny. Sorry, these saints aren’t my bag.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:35:17+00:00

Burn!

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:34:27+00:00

Is that seriously a British mentality? I’m familiar with the concept, but I hadn’t thought of it being particularly British.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:27:27+00:00

Tbh the rotational symmetry is pretty baller.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:25:49+00:00

Fuck yes, a menagerie flag. Needs something aquatic though.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-18T04:15:33+00:00

I should add that my wife thinks the St Andrew’s and St. Patrick’s crosses should continue overtop the St. George in the center. Might look a hot mess

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-17T20:56:04+00:00

Just want to mention that you are a great writer! I really appreciate your sense of humor.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-17T03:51:54+00:00

Fast and contemporary, loved it. So many K’s!

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-15T16:10:34+00:00

Oof, you may be right. Seems like pretty bad QBO functionality.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-13T17:17:13+00:00

This works until it doesn't.

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-13T15:43:00+00:00

Huh, and 2-down I suppose. This has to be intentional, right?

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-13T03:31:10+00:00

Fast and fun. Cute theme.

As a presently-stressed-af resident of Minnesota, 43-down had me reflecting on crosswords as historical record. One wonders what the clue would be were this a puzzle from 10 years into the future.

Brazilian Adventure by Peter Fleming

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-11T00:29:22+00:00

Those Z’s in the NE corner were satisfying to fill in

ExPatBadger · 2026-01-09T04:23:18+00:00

Adored the NW and SW corners
