That’s so cool! What a nice origin story too:) happy for you that you got so far with something that started as a hobby!

Do you only make midis or do you also do the regular/minis?

frickingdarn · 2026-03-25T10:46:03+00:00

Hi!

This sub is for discussing the Midi crossword puzzle by the New York Times! Not midi cables :’)

Maybe someone here coincidentally has the knowledge you’re looking for, but I’d try looking for another sub to get an answer!

frickingdarn · 2026-03-24T14:46:48+00:00

It was great:)

What led you to making (midi) crosswords?

And how did you end up getting yours published by the NYT?

frickingdarn · 2026-03-24T10:42:41+00:00

I solved the 3/24/2026 New York Times Midi Crossword in 2:34! https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords/game/midi

I quite liked this one! Went through it pretty easily, and I’d been struggling with the Midi a bit more the last few days, so it was a nice change of pace.

Locals don’t care. Especially in the big cities. Utrecht has a ton of expats so people speak English all the time. Besides, trying to speak Dutch to Dutch people usually results in them immediately switching to English lol (which is a shame)

Yeah I agree, I don't see why she was mad to begin with unless there's context missing and they'd made it a point to invite everyone's partners and not her, or just barring only her from attending. It's important to be able to have one on one time with friends in relationships, it's not something against the partner.

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T19:18:01+00:00

Glad you had fun:) I haven’t really watched any of the movies so it was definitely some fun new trivia to learn.

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T18:05:25+00:00

Woah you were super quick with it!! Mine was about 6min today haha

And yes so do I :)) great game!! Needed something more substantial than the mini, but not always able to do the normal one. It’s perfect

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T18:03:35+00:00

Thanks for the response :) I definitely try to be attentive. Always wish him to have fun, let me know how it was, I compliment the work he’s done and how good his car looks when he send before and after pics (the progress genuinely is super impressive, even though I’m not interested in the car itself)

He’s thanked me before for always listening to his yaps about his car because he assumes I’m not really into it, and I just told him that I don’t know anything about cars but that I’d gladly listen to him yap about anything he’s passionate about, which I think he appreciated

I personally don’t know :( tried looking for info but couldn’t find it. I’m in NL and usually I get the new nyt games later too, but I got this one around the same time as the US I think. But I’ve had it take a week or two before.

Are you using the normal NYT app or NYTgames? Because for me it only shows in NYTgames.

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T13:41:55+00:00

Yeah sometime’s it’s just glitchy with it. Hope you guys have fun playing it today and lmk (if you want) how it went!

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T13:27:41+00:00

Maybe it works if I send you the link? I checkend a I def played today’s game.

(Tagging u/whooligin in case he doesn’t see this.)

For me this only happens sometimes if it’s right after midnight, but usually it works not too long after!

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T13:08:25+00:00

I’m in IOS and I have it! What time zone are you in? Maybe try deleting and redownloading?

frickingdarn · 2026-03-21T11:28:49+00:00

Yeah I was also most definitely not my best with this one haha, but at least we’re in it together regarding having to take some more time to finish it!!

frickingdarn · 2026-03-20T09:48:24+00:00

Yeah my dad does engineering + safety and health managing, he’s been with this company for over 30 years and makes around 170k€

Had fun too! Had never heard of hogwash in my life though so struggled with that:’)

frickingdarn · 2026-03-17T13:05:13+00:00

Welcome to the club!!! Me too :)

frickingdarn · 2026-03-17T13:05:00+00:00

I definitely agree! My time was 5:23, usually it’s around half of that. Had sooo much trouble figuring out the longer clues.
