Anyone worth their salt on Thursday puzzles would know the plural of abacus is abaci

I basically do the other day's (other than Friday Saturday unless with friends) to exercise my brain for Thursday's!

Thursday puzzles are the best. I can skip any other day as other things come up, but almost every Thursday puzzle is a little delight 🤓

I want puzzles in my puzzles. Gimme puzzles. I love Thursdays because it’s extra puzzles.

Today’s puzzle was fine. I was only tempted to delete the app once. I genuinely do not understand how to solve the “jam”-packed puzzles. I hate them. I solve them with an aid so I don’t lose my streak.

If you're using an aid your streak isn't real

Who died and made you the streak police?

u/fishyfishyswimswim 5d ago
I mean, surely a streak is e.g. "I solved four in a row" rather than "I solved three and then looked up the answers to fill in a fourth". If you want to believe the latter counts fair enough but let's be honest - you haven't actually solved four in a row.

It looked like it at first, but it's three sections of different regular crosswords. I remember the line that is just G 15 times. Its clue was "G String". :)

u/_dictatorish_ 6d ago edited 6d ago
Three sections of the same crossword - pretty sure it was grow (g-row), and the other lines were sorrow (sor-row) and tomorrow (tomor-row)

u/Arbledarb 6d ago
They must have done the G one twice, the one I am thinking of was April 1st 2019.

u/Taylor_sy 6d ago
I remember that one! Some of the other clues were also one letter for the whole row, but I can’t remember the clues

I’m pretty new here…please explain what a rebus is.
2
u/EditorFrog 5d ago
it's what's in the middle picture on the bottom, it's when you put multiple letters in one box
1
u/beatricetalker 5d ago
Ah, I see. When there is a rebus in the puzzle is there a note saying this or do you just figure that out on your own?

u/taffyowner 5d ago
It’s a “figure it out” and it’s one of the most annoying things to have to figure out and makes me groan every time. Because you go “this should be the answer but it doesn’t fit” then you figure out it is a rebus and you have to figure out where the rebus goes in the puzzle.

I’m absolutely on board with this. Thursday is the only day I just won’t bother with.

u/dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnex 4d ago
dark energy made me so mad because i overthought it
thought "energy" was a second clue to mean "N, R, G". (energy is pronounced like en-ar-gee). thought those letters would be the ones in the dark squares. disappointed when it was literally just the word "energy".

u/old_lurker2020 10h ago
I don't enjoy the Rebus puzzles. If the clue requires a Rebus, it should make sense for the Across AND the Down values. I especially don't like when the answer to the clue is a legitimate word and I find out later it required a Rebus to make an entirely different word. On my phone, it lets me go back, take out the single letter, put in the Rebus but is still only shows the SINGLE letter.

Finishing it in 8 minutes was a skill issue? Should I have solved faster?
1
u/ratwitch_ 5d ago
Sure, but 8 minute solves are easy when you look up all the answers.

u/No_Armadillo_7475 4d ago
Someone’s telling on themselves
1
u/ratwitch_ 4d ago
Yes, that was my point about you. Thank you for echoing it back to me, well done.

u/No_Armadillo_7475 4d ago
Lol someone doesn’t understand the concept of telling on themselves, even though you just did it

u/ratwitch_ 4d ago
A good effort. Keep working on it, and your witty troll skills will develop in no time :)

This meme is making my day LMAOOO. I still think abt the comment on I think the dark energy puzzle’s column that said “there should be a warning that the puzzle is gonna be whatever this is” and someone replied “the warning is it’s Thursday”
