I... I do New York Times Sunday crossword books? Constantly?
I used to be really into logic puzzles, but then I realized that crosswords were even more obscure.
So, uh... Oh, okay, here's one that I stole from the NPR Sunday Puzzle last week! Ho ho!
Think of two terms that mean, "to divulge information." Write them one after the other with no spaces between words. The result is a nine-letter word for a card that you might hold in a card game.
And the week before it was this:
Take "tire" and "exhaust." They're both things a car has. But as verbs, in a noncar sense, they're synonyms. The challenge is to name two articles of apparel — things to wear — each with four letters; and as verbs, in a nonapparel sense, the two words are synonyms. What words are they?

I.. I can't even think of a 9 letter name for a card
I just got one out of a book I was reading though
Infront of you are 4 cards. Each card has a letter on one side, and a number on the other. If you are told "prove or disprove that a D always has a 3 on the other side by flipping two cards over." which of these do you choose:

I love the Hellraiser movies
Every time I say this I feel the need to apologize immediately after
Butler, that wasn't the answer, although lace and tie could hypothetically work if you stretched it a little!
Also I think "cuff" should be accepted along with "sock" and "sock," personally.

And people say crosswords aren't a team game.
Also, I just started doing the classic crossword on the NYTimes website (because what else do you do at 1:30 a.m.?) and the second clue I filled in had "otoe" as the answer. Amazing.

Also Macro, I don't know how to tell you this, but if that's the box from Hellraiser... don't solve it.
E: Yay Jordyn!

The second is
Edit: Oh okay I guess Jordyn's works too
It opens a gate to Hell, unfortunately.

Jordyn got what Will Shortz called the right answer pretty much immediately!

They're great movies if you're interesting in creepy things.
the hint was "A tower of strength", 7 letters
Nothing seemed to work with the other words present (tower of babylon maybe?), biblical references, literary references, nothing
So at a party, she mentioned the problem, and one of her friends figured it out. "Tugboat."
...
On a related note, I have such a love/hate relationship with crossword puzzle words
Like "olio" and "otoe" - why do these appear so often? Will I ever use them in a sentence? No one will ever know!

Oh my lord.

Okay, now that I get it? I love that clue.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a neat puzzle game for the DS. The puzzles are pretty much classic ones though.
