Leonard and I have our panorama of daily web games, including Squareword. Squareword asks you to puzzle out a 5-by-5 grid of letters where the rows and columns all form words.

The other day I suggested a particular set of words for 4-across and 5-across.

Leonard: "But that means 2-down would end in 'EDDD.'"

Sumana: "The English language needs to move with the times."

Leonard: "But is the best moment to do that in the middle of a game of Squareword?"

Sumana: "Are you standing athwart history, yelling 'stop'?"

Leonard: "I'm standing athwart history, yelling 'EDDD.'"
