This simple little word puzzle is a fun time killer for me.  But, I guess for some it is something much more.  Since the NYT bought the game, there are new complaints in the news? every day.  The ? is questing how so many trivial pursuits come to be considered news.  First came complaints the game had changed in some way.  Then, complaints the words chosen were harder than before NYT. Just ignore that the list of words can be found online if you want to look.  Those who looked, said NYT dropped a word a few days ago deemed to obscure, as in not a commonly used word. The word was AGORA.  What is that? If it had not been dropped out of the lineup, I am sure I would have missed that one. Then, a couple days ago the word was Caulk. Apparently many young people who have never done much of anything useful did not know that was a word.  Complaints, complaints.  But wait, yesterday's word was SHAKE.  Complaints, complaints that was a TOO common word. Many people had SHA_E and ran out of guesses before they got to K. Todays word used the same letter twice, so I expect that will draw complaints.

It's a game, not a world crisis.

Speaking of crisis, the boy made it to Poland safely.
