Word Games: The New York Times Crossword Puzzle’s use of the term “illegal” causes uproar
The New York Times Crossword Editor Will Shortz admits a clue in Thursday’s puzzle was a mistake. (Michael Sharp, Rex Parker)
By JUAN GASTELUM
Channel: ImmigrationEvery crossword puzzle in The New York Times has a theme. On Thursday last week, that theme — in a way that turned out to be both ironic and fitting — was ERROR.
At issue was a clue that caught many readers and close followers of the immigration debate by surprise. The clue, No. 54 Across, read: “One caught by border patrol.” The answer: ILLEGAL.
damn right it should cause an uproar!!
