For the first time in 84 years, the NYT Sunday crossword was literally unsolvable in print. Clues didn't match answers. Some were missing entirely. Print solvers, often doing it in pen, spiraled. People feared "sudden onset dementia." One guy said it nagged at him all day before he realized the paper just blew it. "We trust that it's always going to be something that at least somebody can figure out. The world is making less and less sense. So it's like, 'The crossword puzzle? Not you, too!'" "Maybe I'm overreacting. But it ruined the best hour of my week." The grid was fine online. Cold comfort for everyone who spent Sunday morning questioning their own mind because the Times couldn't do a basic print QA check.
