Okay, so, I saw this title floating around today, “Tennis Announcers Cry NYT,” and I got curious. I mean, what does that even mean? I figured it had to be some kind of puzzle or riddle. I’ve got a soft spot for those, so I decided to dig in and see what I could find.
First thing I did was just kind of casually look around online. You know, the usual places. I wanted to see if anyone else was talking about this “Tennis Announcers Cry NYT” thing. Turns out, yeah, quite a few people were. It’s from one of those crossword puzzles, apparently. The New York Times one, to be specific. I’ve never been great at those, but this felt different. I felt like I could solve this one. Maybe.
So I started to really focus. What could “Tennis Announcers Cry” mean in a crossword context? I saw some folks online saying the answer was “ITSIN.” Huh, “ITSIN.” Okay. I guess that makes sense. Like, a tennis announcer would yell that if the ball was in, right?
I kept looking at different websites, just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Most of them were saying the same thing: “ITSIN.” Some of them had different dates mentioned, like July 11th or July 12th, 2024. I guess that’s when the clue was in the crossword. It doesn’t really change the meaning to solve this puzzle.
Honestly, I felt pretty good about figuring this out! It wasn’t super hard, but it was still satisfying. Like a little mental victory. I might even try doing the whole crossword one of these days. I guess sometimes, even the simplest puzzles can be fun.
