This one felt nice to get. But if the Across/Down clues had been reversed, I highly doubt I would have gotten it under in :30

Highest date score so far, and just a few points from my highest total.

When I play Stacked, I initially try to work through them all mentally and then submit them from 1 to 5, like below. You didn't get any additional recognition or anything, and this is pretty much the only game I even try to be extra with.

So what about y'all... What extra things do you do to make the games more enjoyable, whether it's to make it harder, something quirky, something random, etc?

Saw a banner that CleverGoat launched a new game, Crossherd. Very amused when I saw this summary.

Had similar problems with my P6P. There are multiple areas in my town where I show full / nearly full bars, but my service is terrible or non-existent (!). If I toggle Airplane Mode, I'll get great speeds until it drops out again. Sometimes this is 30 seconds, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes hours/days. But at some point it will drop out again. Ugh...

It was pretty funny to see these back to back in my feed.
