May 10 Crossword
Hey there,
Thank you all for joining me here! I’m so excited and grateful to see the overwhelmingly positive response to this newsletter. Below I’ve included links to a pdf of this week’s crossword puzzle and a link to fill the puzzle in online. When filling in online, you’ll be able to turn on a feature that allow you to see when the letters you’ve filled in are incorrect. Once you’ve finished the puzzle either in the pdf or online, you can use the online module as an answer key.
I want to focus the crossword clues primarily on recently released movies and TV shows and some timely celebrity news, but I will also be including some references to media from throughout time. Please assume clues are referencing media released in 2019 unless otherwise stated. If you have no idea what a clue is referencing, I encourage you to browse Vulture, the New York Times arts section, or Variety before Googling. Read about the references if they seem interesting to you! I would love for people to find new shows and movies through the newsletter.
I’d like to make it clear that I am in no way an expert at making crosswords. As I continue making this newsletter, I’d like to experiment with different puzzle making softwares and read more about the craft of making crosswords. For now, I’ll be approaching this as someone who loves filling them in myself and spends a lot of time learning and reading about pop culture.
Please go easy on me and let me know if you like what you see!
