Here’s a little anecdote from the test-solving process. Matt Gritzmacher (in addition to being a top-10 ACPT finisher) always provides super constructive feedback on Grid Therapy puzzles. Here’s an excerpt from a recent puzzle: “I think to some extent some of these entries are just out of my wheelhouse… but I also think they’re particularly accessible to Trent-like people without a lot flexibility for folks like me who need help on all of them.”
Ask yourself, dear reader, who are Trent-like people? And who are the ‘folks like me’ Matt aligned himself with?
Turns out what he meant was I’m as old as Methuselah. And he’s not.
In any case, no matter your age, I hope you find something here that’s in your wheelhouse. Also, check out next Monday’s Wall Street Journal crossword if you’re interested in a Trent puzzle in the wild. See you soon.
