I only do the Junior Jumble™

Had no idea you even had one.

No.

Is that what it is?

I thought it was that Sudoku thing.

What the fuck? Where the hell is the crossword? How long has it been running? What kind of joke are you pulling here?

I read the Stranger's weekly print multiple times a week. I've been sloppy about the last 3 or so issues, since I haven't been in town much, but still. I can't recall ever seeing a crossword. Ever.

Is it embedded in ads?

Crossword???

No, but I really like the name "Brendan Emmett Quigley." That's hot.

This has got to be a joke.

You run a crossword every week, but you only run Control Tower every other week? What the hell is wrong with you?

This is pure bullshit. And now I'm plowing through my archives looking for one (I, uh, keep every copy I grab). And if this is a joke, I will hate you for this Dan.

Yes! And I did it when Clark Humphrey wrote it too! I am officially 90 years old.

what crossword?

Hm. Perhaps we haven't worked hard enough to let folks know where it is. It's on the second-to-last page, with Matisse/Science, Blowjob, Get Your War On, American Affairs Desk, across from I Saw U, Free Will Astrology, Maakies, and Perry Bible Fellowship.

Hm. It is kind of a crowded spot. Maybe it's getting lost in the hubbub.

Well it isn't in any of the issues I decided to keep, unless you just started running it.

Wherever it is, replace it with something Adrian!.

Umm, if I see it I'll do it...

It's also online (and printable!) every week at www.thestranger.com/games!

Needless to say, there's a crossword in The Stranger? Also, there's a www.thestranger.com/games?

Brendan Emmett Quigley!

There is a crossword? I wouldn't do it if I did see it. I ONLY do the NYT Crossword.

Brendan Emmett Quigley also does puzzles for the NYT, Just Me. You might want to give his Stranger puzzles a gander.

So the online address works, Ari, but if there is a link anywhere from the rest of the Stranger site, you've buried it pretty deep.

I've looked at The Stranger more than most (print and online), and I've never noticed it before either.

this has to be a joke.

i've seen the ads for the sex shops and escorts. but i've never seen a crossword. and i would notice a crossword...

That's true. We should address that. And get more games and puzzles! (I would do the crossword, but since I have to build the answer page online it always gets ruined.)

I do the crossword on a very rare occasion. Probably haven't in months.

Well, I've done them almost every week since you started printing them... they're really good crosswords.

Put it on the cover next week or two Dan! Then someone might notice it.

I do it, but I don't count. It's a good one, though.

There's a print version of The Stranger? You mean like on paper and everything? How quaint.

Well, per Ari Spool's link it appears these have been running since mid-September? I can't believe you haven't pimped yer crosswords like your Restaurant Guide Reader Reviews.

You have a print edition???

i love it! i do it every week. the crossword puzzle, that is.

Games, Puzzles childishness in general are Spool's expertise. Will she wear a flesh colored bodysuit for the next Stranger Twister Video Holiday Gide installment. I'll be her Crombie, if she be my b**ch.

It hasn't been back that long has it? a few months? I noticed it, but I'm not a crossworder. My boyfriend, who IS though, just rediscovered it last week and was pretty excited.

If you were running it from 6-2 years ago, I read every print edition, every week, without fail. Sometimes re-reading things I already read out of desperation while on the bus, and I have never seen the crossword. Although, I've only just become interested in crosswords, so maybe I was tuning it out.

Well, I would do it, but you don't deliver to Vancouver, eh? You could put it online, then I'd do it... oh, um... thanks, Ari. =) I'll start doing it, then.

Is there a link to it somewhere off the main site that I've been missing all this time?

mrs kinkos and i do it faithfully every week. we are super glad you added it as part of the redesign!

Man, I do it every week. And I'm apparently the only person. But I love it. ALL HAIL CROSSWORDS!

I'm not a crossworder, but I am a crossdresser. Does that count?

The message on the spine last week..."I should have thought this through"

Is that Frizzelle or Seling?

Just wondering!!

Yes, and thank you.

Sorry. No idea you even had one. But in my defense: (A) I've pretty much switched to the online version and only rarely pick up the olde fashioned paper version anymore, and (B) even if I'd seen it, I'm not into crosswords, so I wouldn't give a shit anyway.

Yep, I've done the crossword a couple times in the last two months... they're pretty impressive. Very long answers that all stack together... how the hell does he do it?

I did it for the first time last week. I was expecting it to be naughtier.

sweet. i will check it out online.

yep

I've done it a few times, but I rarely pick up the print copy anymore. I get my stranger fix online now....

Though, I do sit and reread articles while waiting for dates/friends at coffee shops/bars. One suggestion... maybe move it away from the backwoods section. Call me old fashioned, but when I read a print paper I start at the front and move to the back. If I'm waiting for someone, they usually show up before I get that far back.

Yes, the world should adjust to accommodate me and my habits.

Never heard of it.

I'll do the crossword if you bring back Birch. Deal?

I do them at work, in the down time while waiting for my computer to process images.

I start at the back of The Stranger. First: Maakies. Then, all the rest of the cartoons and weird shit on the last two inside pages. Then Savage Love. Then Last Days.

Then I sorta idly leaf through the rest. It is still better than any other paper out there. I'm a compulsive reader, and go through three newspapers a day. Five, if I get Brand X and The Stranger on the same day (Why does your delivery to Everett suck so much?)

I have actually complained about this crossword numerous times in the past. I fail to understand how all the clues can always point to obscene and offensive answers, most of which do not fit properly into the spaces provided. This results in frequent erasures and overwritings to the point where I frequently tear through the paper itself sometimes through as many as ten pages at once. While I enjoy the activity of doing the crossword I would like to request that the page in question is printed on slightly more sturdy paper.

NO!!!

There's a crossword?

They are kind of easy and short, but when I have no yarn it's one way not to knit for 30 minutes. If free porn were better I wouldn't use it at all, though. I'd put the time in to improving the quality of free porn (twink most certainly does not mean a skeleton with pallid skin draped over it - THAT is nothing at like a Twinkie, not in the least).

I got so excited when i saw y'all were bringing back the crossword a few weeks ago! I missed it a bunch. And, yes, I am an old, old lady.

thanks for the heads up! I will definitely be doing it now. My bf and I love quigley's puzzles. You scored.

Well, after all of that...I will starting working it now.

Shameless whoring of comic about crosswords that I found funny at the link!

You have a print edition?

OK, I didn't know it was there.

Can those of us from out-of-town please, please, pretty please get it in a .puz format to download and play at our leisure?

Some of us like our palm pilots. And have even used them to read your books...

I can't believe there's any part of that paper that I've never noticed. But. . .

There's a crossword?

First I've heard of it. Who reads the paper any more anyway? I only SLOG.

I've gotten all but four this week. That "At the Viper Room" clue is killing me.

Oh, and Ecce Homo really didn't need a reference in the crossword. Are you guys gluttons for punishment?

No retronyms - then I'm outta here...

Actually, if you made it an interactive crossword online, I would totally use it. The Onion AV Club has one, which is good fun.

Now that I know you guys have one, I'll be printing it out and doing it at work! Woo Hoo!

Now that I know you guys have one, I'll be printing it out and doing it at work! Woo Hoo!

I noticed it the first week you printed it. You people who didn't see it are probably high on something. Probably because you're snorting shit off Pony"s toilet. The crossword is awesome, but you need to be more forthcoming (less lazy) with the solution.

What if SGN had a crossword puzzle? Now that would be a spelling challenge.

I love crosswords but the Stranger puzzle is always too hard for me.

I love crosswords but the Stranger puzzle is always too hard for me.

If you like doing the Stranger's crosswords you should try "Cricklers". It's a cool daily online news puzzle.

Oh man! I have to start picking up the print edition of The Stranger now. B.E. Quigley is a musician/crossword constructor. Marc Romano's Crossworlds book features Quigley.

Thanks for letting us know, Dan!

Make it playable online and I'd totally do it!

Is that a crossword puzzle or an eye chart? Is that 1 point font on the clues?

I know the escort ads pay the bills, but if you could dedicate just a little more space to the puzzle, it would be more usable.

I like the online suggestion too.

Yes! I really enjoy it and find the difficulty level to be just about right.

Since I've moved to CA & can't get a print version of the paper anymore (poor me), a puzzle playable online would be great.

Brendan Emmett Quigley is one of my all time favorite puzzlers. Will Shortz is also a huge fan. He generally runs Quigley on Saturdays and Sundays and actually has published Quigs in a few exclusive collection books.

Do NOT stop your publication of Quigs' crosswords. Mostly because I can't find the same puzzles anywhere. Trust me, I've looked.

Crosswords are my personal daily god.

"At the Viper Room"?

INLA. Tricky, tricky.
