Inside the Minds of Crossword-Puzzle Creators | The New Yorker 

Felt like I was watching a cute first date

This looks like a great first date

Amy Santiago is freaking out over this video

"Cruciverbalist." That's a word I can get behind.

Please do this at least once a month, very amusing to watch

didn't know this is what I was missing in life. More please!

omg I took a grad seminar with Anna Schectman once she is wildly smart

Wish I could be half as likable as these two individuals

Hey that guy was on Jeopardy! Edit: I didnt watch the whole video before commenting

they should have made this a competition. Give one a word that they make a clue for and the other has to guess.

avant garde crossword puzzle is a great phrase I wish I could use. I can't really "do" crossword puzzles, my brain just can't think that way. I like word play and stuff but I can't see the clue and think up a word, i can see the word and clue and get why it works, it's the same with trivia.

This is a great understanding of crossword puzzle creation.

Off topic but....HIS HAIR THO!!!😻😻😻

These two are adorable. Please do this once a week. I don’t care what you talk about.

cross word puzzle creators are under rated.

*amy santiago has entered the chat*

I'm living for that dudes Afro... I'm black and can't even grow an afro :(

I love when he's the creator of the puzzle, great clues

anyone know what blue pen they were using near the beginning of the video?

Globe trotter is sooooo good.

A great look into how our language is evolving through internet culture!

The Millenial vibe in this video and comments

Globe trotter is the best thing I've ever herd

love this!

Holy crap they're like people what a surprise that they are sort of like smart people having a conversation, now that is amazing its very enjoyable that it has nothing to do with crosswords

3:04 - ..WOW FUZZ!!

"Waiting for Beyonce" Aren't we all kind of tough?

you can see them falling in love oml

I thought this title was “Crossword Puzzle Cheaters”, and I thought YES! Oh well☹️

Alright, I totally fell for her after "Globe trotter".

I was waiting on Thirsty

Now do a video about people who create cryptic crosswords.

How much do they earn

Def watching this a second time :)

i absolutely love crosswords,,,, like i have one with me wherever i go

I liked this almost as much as the WIRED crosswords video... but unfortunately not as much!

Why am I entertained by just two people talking about writing crossword puzzles

Completely random but- Emilia sacconejoly will grow up to look like Anna in the video

I don’t get globetrotter someone help me

I suck at them I also suck at jeopardy reminds me I'm not nearly as smart as I think I is

His fro is so perfect

I'm thirsty for Pepsi

The background music is annoying

whyyyy does she look so familiar?

Spelling how different wat to spell Spider

I can't tell what background he is

Eric marry me

I’m at the point where I can just about finish the daily puzzle faster than I can boil a pot of water. Not The NY Times puzzle, mind you... that takes a little longer. If I can manage to get out of bed... that is. 🙃

I ship these two

Not water resistant has nothing to do with what the word thirsty means.

She's brilliant...

Bob Ross's alive ? :o

at 6:23 a better one would have been "One in three of us by 2020" with us being US as in USA also at 8:15 "Henry the 5th's speechwriter" is more clever i feel like

He is adorable

Will be automated.

I love her. I would marry her in a heartbeat. Not being creepy, just honest. Perfection in every way!

there's something about that girl...

This is why I don't do crossword puzzles. They're easy ones are hard.

they look cute together!!

um her body language ~ could she get any further away?

Wasn’t he on jeopardy?

Omg globetrotter

It's kinda hard to believe that you need so much education to do this job lol

Erik's Afro needs to be a meme...

she reminds me of lea michele so much but we all know lea michele can't read

ANNA IS SO BADASS

He is so cute.

S O W O K E

I find it funny she's yet to find an industry less dominated by old white dudes yet she's in academia, really can't think of anything MORE diverse and less old and white

Words spoken out loud require enunciation. I could not understand the person on the left when their pitch dropped into a growly tone. I guess she was subconciously mirroring her colleague, but speaking in a natural pitch aids the listener. Actually, his natural pitch is probably higher, too, but his resonance was able to overcome. I would probably be muttering and rushing my words in such a scenario, so I'm not saying I would do better, but when the vid is about words, maybe the words should be heard. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it was the sound mix?

But that’s what you want to be a woman doing things. Need to be praised for that right. But then whine about when people notice. Smh.

We couldn't even get through a 9 minute video about crossword puzzles without needlessly bringing up race.

What's the word I'm looking for ? Cringeworthy
