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.

I feel as though I’ve been moving a mile a minute lately (in a good and exciting way). You can meditate all you want, but I’ve found that nothing gets me centered quite like a twenty-minute midday crossword break.

INTENSITY UP.

So the highlight of my day was finally finding a suitable refill for the Tiffany ballpoint pen that my grandma gave me for graduation. I looked like a gangster doing the crossword.
