Hi, everyone!

Well, it's been another fun week with the New York Times crossword puzzles. Let's see what Bo references you all can find! 👀

Thursday had a classic Bo term, TRULY, featured in the mini puzzle.

Here's my favorite poem from Egghead that has two instances of that word 🥺

And Friday's main puzzle included a clue that's also the name of a podcast Bo appeared on in 2016: IF I WERE YOU

If you are a Bo fan and you've somehow missed out on this gem, please at least watch the best segment that always leaves me cackling—Dangrin's Baton.

The other two parts, Fin Dom and Bro Job, are also amazing, but nothing beats Bo saying "Oh, Dangrin. There's batons all over the yard this season!" Lol

I'll have more crossword fun for today and tomorrow's puzzles. And please let me know if I've missed any Bo references! ✌��

Up to Dateness Crossword Clue

 For avid crossword enthusiasts, the thrill of solving puzzles lies in unraveling tricky clues and unlocking the right answers. One such clue that often stumps puzzlers is "Up-to-Dateness." This seemingly straightforward phrase can pose a challenge due to its potential for multiple interpretations and varying degrees of complexity. In this article, we will explore the possible meanings of "Up-to-Dateness" in crossword puzzles and discuss strategies to approach this clue effectively.

Understanding the Clue

Before diving into possible answers, it's essential to break down the phrase "Up-to-Dateness." In everyday language, up-to-dateness refers to the state of being current, modern, or in line with the latest trends, news, or developments. In crossword puzzles, this can be reinterpreted in many ways, depending on the theme, difficulty level, and wordplay involved in the puzzle.

Clues in crosswords often require solvers to think beyond the literal meaning of a word or phrase, engaging with synonyms, word puns, abbreviations, or even historical references. "Up-to-Dateness" can therefore challenge the solver to think of related terms, depending on the style of the crossword (e.g., cryptic, themed, or quick). Read More

Crossword: I liked the bad break up theme. EDNAMODE and MYHAT were fun answers. AYRA and HOTH were good pop culture references.

Wordle: silly second choice but did better than average which is always nice.

Connections: came together pretty quickly once I got past the first guess.

Strands: ratatouille was the theme and it took me forever to catch on oops.
