Well, howdy there! Let me tell ya, this here NYT Crossword, sometimes it just gets my goat. It ain’t always easy, you know? Sometimes them clues, they just don’t make no sense. Like, what’s a four-letter word for a thingamajig? Who knows these things?!
I reckon I ain’t the only one who gets riled up about this crossword. Seems like a lot of folks are havin’ troubles. I heard tell some folks can’t even get the dang app to work right. It just quits on ’em, or it won’t even open up. Now, that ain’t right. If you’re payin’ good money for somethin’, it ought to work, plain and simple.
And then there’s the clues themselves. Sometimes they’re just too darn tricky. Like, they use all them fancy words, the kind you only hear from city folk. What’s a feller like me supposed to do with that? I just wanna do my crossword in peace, without havin’ to look up every other word in the dictionary. It ain’t like I got all the time in the world, you know? I got chores to do, mouths to feed.
- First off, that app. It better work right, or I’m gonna be complainin’ louder than a rooster at sunrise. And it ain’t just me, it’s a whole bunch of us. We pay good money for this here crossword, we expect it to work.
- Then there’s them clues. They need to be written so regular folks can understand ’em. None of that fancy-pants talk. Just plain English, like what we use down at the feed store.
And another thing! Sometimes I think they make mistakes in the crossword. Yeah, you heard me right, mistakes! Like, they put the wrong letters in the squares, or the answers don’t match the clues. It’s enough to make a body pull their hair out. And when you try to complain, it’s like tryin’ to catch a greased pig. You gotta jump through hoops, send emails, make phone calls. It’s a whole rigmarole.
I ain’t sayin’ the crossword should be easy, mind you. I like a good challenge. But it needs to be fair. And it needs to be accurate. And if somethin’ ain’t right, they need to fix it, quick as a wink. That’s all I’m askin’. Is that too much?
So, if you’re havin’ trouble with this here NYT Crossword, you ain’t alone. Speak up! Let ’em know what’s botherin’ ya. Maybe if enough of us complain, they’ll finally do somethin’ about it. And in the meantime, I guess I’ll just keep on pluggin’ away, tryin’ to figure out them darn clues. Maybe one of these days, I’ll even finish one without havin’ to cheat. But don’t hold your breath!
What to do if you’re having problems? Well, I heard tell you can complain right there in the app. That’s what them fancy folks call “sending feedback.” Seems like that’s the best way to get their attention, ’cause they get all them technical gizmos and whatnots right away. If that don’t work, you can try sendin’ them an email, or even callin’ ’em on the telephone. But good luck gettin’ a real person on the line. It’s all machines these days, seems like.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on this whole NYT Crossword business. It’s a good way to pass the time, I reckon, but it sure ain’t perfect. And if they don’t start listenin’ to us folks who are actually playin’ the game, well, they’re gonna lose a lot of customers. And that’s the truth, plain and simple.
So next time you’re stuck on a clue, or the app freezes up on ya, don’t just sit there and stew. Complain! Let ’em know what’s on your mind. It’s the only way things are gonna get better. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll start makin’ crosswords that a regular person can actually enjoy.
And if you see a mistake, don’t be shy now, holler about it! Tell ‘em Granny said so.
