These are some awful strong opinions about crosswords. BUT THAT GOT ME WONDERING!
From Google:
And since time worked differently back then, these things were practically brand new!
This is like complaining about Wordle.Report
Which itself isn’t a new as people think. Or at least, when Ru Paul has been advertising that Lingo game during football, and everyone said ‘hey they made of tv version of Wordle!’, they in fact just rebooted a TV show from the 1980s. (fun fact – hosted by Ronald Reagan’s son)Report
Holy cow. That means that Wordle is older than this comment by about 2 1/2 decades more than crossword puzzles were at the time of this cartoon.
