Tuesday, September 10, 2024 - HEMINGWAYESQUE, fun to say, a challenge to spell, and impossible to work into casual conversation 😀
Manage episode 439282211 series 2927391
Today's theme was about as NYTimes-esque as they come, just a fun exploration of attributes of the English language, and something that almost surely could not have been constructed without a computer to do the heavy lifting. Without spoiling anything out here in the show notes, let's just say that the theme involved finding three answers that met certain criteria, and those answers were the output of a Python program. To be fair, the author of the crossword wrote said program, and could've done what it did by hand, only it would have taken him probably 3.5 million years to do so, and he was in a hurry.
Show note imagery: A beaver, glad to be mentioned in the NYTimes crossword
