10:16 – and that was while eating breakfast and spending 2 minutes trying to figure out what I’d gotten wrong only to realize I’d accidentally hit O instead of I in one spot! 🤦🏻
7:11! I love these—this is the first time I’ve ever regularly done crosswords, all because of Autostraddle! I’m feeling an obsession coming on… I’d love to see a round table with the puzzle creators about their process and how they got into making them. And maybe a beginner’s guide to crosswords about the different ‘rules,’ like how if the clue is plural, your answer should be too. I’ve picked up some from listening to friends talk about crosswords and those circles got me. And what is Autostraddle if not another friend? 😉
