New daily basketball crossword

Hey everyone, I recently launched a basketball trivia app/social media brand called 6th Man Trivia. There are 3 difficulties of questions for each NBA team. Additionally, there is a daily crossword that covers NBA and CBB. Increasing difficulty, Monday-Sunday. Please check it out and report any feedback you have! I’d love to see what the real fans think!

crossword graduation cap

been making the puzzles for my university's newspaper for the past few years, so it was only fitting to make my graduation cap on-theme. i also made a clued version just for fun if you want to solve it yourself :)

NYT Saturday 5/16 Questions

Hi all-

Just finished the saturday from this weekend and it was delightful and DIFFICULT! I have been waiting for a harder saturday recently.

Wondering if someone could explain to me some of the weirder ones that I still don’t really get.

Matches with forensics - DEBATECONTESTS

Trigger hair - MANE

I kinda think the trigger hair one is a oldtimey phrase? But the internet just says it has connotations with anger?

I loved this puzzle and want to remember these difficult answers ! ZARF got me good

The funniest part of this sub

The funniest part of this sub is finishing the hardest crossword of your life, only to go to the comments where, invariably, someone has written “Cute puzzle. Pretty easy for a [insert day] though.”

Edit: For the record, I don’t begrudge them this at all. When I say “funny”, I do really mean that it makes me chuckle to get ego-checked like that

It’s gotta be on paper

This morning I was looking forward to my weekly Evan Birnholz fix, but discovered that the WP (thanks Jeff!) has revoked the ability to print a blank puzzle. (They’re generous enough to let you print a filled-in puzzle, of course, like that’s useful…)

My workaround: save the PDF of the filled-in puzzle since it has all the clues. Open the puzzle as if you’re going to play it online and screenshot the empty grid. Now open a new word processor document, insert the PDF and copy the empty puzzle grid in over the filled-in grid (you may have to cover the filled-in grid with a white rectangle first.) Anybody have any simpler solutions?

Ironic:
