Beef Erupts Over Crossword Guru's Hip-Hop Slang Clue
Under editor Will Shortz, The New York Times crossword puzzle has won fans for being in touch with the modern world — relying less on arcane words and more on a working knowledge of America’s cultural landscape.
But according to some, Shortz took a false step with this past Saturday’s puzzle, when he included a clue steeped in hip-hop slang. The clue asked for a 5-letter word that means “Wack, in hip-hop.”
The answer was “Illin’”.
Illin?! Will Shortz, I will take your job one day and do it way better, too.
