Sunday, April 12, 2026 - Oh, paradise! PARADIDDLE is in the grid 😍

We did not know, until several hours ago, that PARADIDDLE was a word. But now that we do, we're going to try and work it into conversation whenever, and however, we can. That will not be easy, alas, because PARADIDDLE is the answer to 73D, Basic drumming pattern: the opportunities to deploy it will likely be few and far between.Speaking of musicians, we were also thrilled to learn of the existence of 54D, Hip-hop artists with unintelligible lyrics, MUMBLERAPPERS. We put that right up there with PARADIDDLE as a life-changing discovery, and personally want to thank constructors Lance Enfinger, John Kugelman, and, of course, Will Shortz, for making the puzzle that made all this possible.Show note imagery: PARADIDDLES apparently do not live alone: they are quite sociable, and cluster in familiesWe love feedback!
