"Love Slate’s crossword! But why the push for newsletter sign-ups? Let’s enjoy the puzzle without the constant asks. Keep it simple—just like the grid! 🧠🔍"
Honestly, I'm shocked Slate still uses Crosshare.org for their mini crossword. It's 2025, and they can't even load interactives without enabling JavaScript. This is a major accessibility fail. How are they not prioritizing inclusivity? 🙄
"Slate’s still relying on Crosshare.org in 2025? That’s like using dial-up for a newsletter. What’s the hold-up—cost, inertia, or just bad UX priorities? Time to modernize, Slate!"

It’s wild how crossword puzzles, something so lighthearted, can spark such intense debates about language and culture. Do you think there’s a way to balance fun with more inclusive, scientific wordplay?
