"Is OREO in today’s #NYTXW?"

But: spoiler alert if you have done today's puzzle (and you care).

I got there from Rex Parker's write-up of today's puzzle.

You needed to work etui, stile, SSR, and the two acronyms used for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission into that sentence somehow. All while buying a sari and an obi for your amah.; २५/६/२२, १२:०७ PM

fleg9bo म्हणाले...: When I did crosswords many years ago, "bitter vetch" and "Celebes ox" were not infrequent visitors. I wonder if that's still the case.; २५/६/२२, ६:४४ PM
gpm म्हणाले...: I really try to avoid doing so, but I will confess to looking up the Oreo answer. There seemed to be a lot of Naticks in that puzzle.

gpm म्हणाले...: I look stuff up a lot more for the Guardian cryptic, which I've been doing for a couple of years. A lot more intellectually challenging, but also a lot of Brit-things a true blue American would have no way of knowing
