Does it still work if you enter ‘Babylon5’?
How do crossword writers make those perfect square crosswords with every letter in two words, after you fill in enough words how do you not get to a point where there are no words that fit
I imagine they just play 1-person scrabble with infinite pieces. Then they put the descriptions afterwards.
That’s kind of trolling both fanbases at the same time.
Obviously Stark Trek is the real answer.
Fun fact: if you put a dog in my ass, there will be a dog in my ass.
The more you know!
Evil that “It’s a trap” only works with Star Trek.
They had to show their bias somehow ;)
But “It’s a wrap!” is a perfectly valid answer for filming either.
Yes, but “it’s a trap!” is a star wars reference
But you have to know the details of both franchises to pick the best, so it’s a fair clue.
I doubt I would have ever figured “leased” as something being “let out, in a way”.
I think you meant Star Wars, since that is where the meme comes from.
No they mean the answer to the clue is “it’s a trap” only if you answer “star trek” to the which sci fi is better value.
If you write “Star Wars,” then the correct answer is “It’s a wrap,” even though the Star Wars fan will likely think of “It’s a trap” first. If you write “Star Trek,” then the correct answer is “It’s a trap!” which does not come from Star Trek.

Huh. Doesn’t work.

You missed BABYLONV.
Oh snap it does fit
Just need to tighten my woistband a bit
Maybe that one is from Spaceballs, which is just the woist. :)
“It was the best of times, it was the WOIST OF TIMES‽”
It’s a larp!
Funny,
Lexxonly has four letters…Leaeed indeed
It has either three letters too many or one letter too few, depending on whether or not you abbreviate.
This appears to be from early 2022.

I think they reused the gimmick because I definitely remember this from a few days ago
Thanks, I was wondering this. I checked 70 across in the last four Sundays and it wasn’t there.
It’s interesting that when tweets are shared, they almost never include the date. I wonder if that’s basically natural selection? I.e., if the date is on there, people are less inclined to share it once it’s outdated, so the ones that survive as memes are the ones that let people assume the tweet is still current?
MOST social media don’t have an actual date on it for a long time. Heck, look at these posts here. Most of them say “2 hours ago” or whatever relative time. Right now the OP says “1 day ago” for me. Which could be anywhere from 24-48 hours ago, or even a wider range depending on how they round those numbers.
If someone screenshots your post, then it gets reposted in 10 years, we’ll have no context for when it happened.
When I watch an old YouTube video, it might say “6 years ago” which could be a video created before COVID quarantine, to well within the window. The UI makes it very difficult to see the actual date/time that things were posted.
Fair point.
Yesterday in which year? This is ancient.
No idea. It was my first time seeing it, so I just thought it was neat and wanted to share.
Me too, I appreciated it.
A long time ago. In a crossword far away.
What if you live in NY?
It’s from the February 6, 2022 New York Times crossword puzzle.
Seems they spelled “Stargate” incorrectly. 😞
You misspelled “Battlestar Galactica”
You both goofed when typing Duck Dodgers (in the 24½th Century)
Just as long as we are talking about the OG BSG of course. 😋
Tremors: The Series
The real, most trolling cruelty here is that if you say “Star Wars” you can’t have “It’s a trap!”
And Star Trek fans will have to endure a Star Wars meme staining their choice.
I think the bigger cruelty is that you aren’t going to get the across right away regardless without STAR filled in. But if you immediately get “It’s a trap!” then you are going to later get trolled with Star Trek being better.
Props to the designer, that must have felt amazing to turn in

With more artefacting of course.
nah it’ll be AI upscaled and the grid won’t even line up
Yesterday puzzmo.com did it with “what colour was the dress”. You could either answer blue or gold and it fit. But it wasn’t as good as this one. And I don’t think You can access archived crosswords on puzzmo.
Edit: It was today, so You can still access it for a couple of hours.
Solution here for reference:
spoiler
But white doesn’t fit at all. (Which is fine, the dress was blue)
