Setting a new PB on the grid (Crosswords)

[@computer70]

I never thought I’d be so into crossword content, but watching NL utilize his trivia knowledge, vocabulary, and wit to destroy crosswords is so satisfying.

[@coledorillo6685]

I’m still not into crosswords in general but NL’s pogtent just elevates it

[@xaytana]

It's similar to how Cracking The Cryptic attained popularity with sudoku content.

[@omyyer]

Now he's just gotta figure the difference between down and across.

[@brownpowerranger66]

I love focusing on a word that NL doesn't easily get and lording it over him, pretending like I'm anywhere near his level 😆

[@Bugbite0656]

NO TIP!

[@Thor8151990]

Bodied egg on this one, but he's the only streamer I can stand to watch anymore which I suppose says more about him than it does me.

[@dudeimdudely7477]

@@deetsitmeisterjd I only know him from this, didn’t know he played games besides trivia games

[@1dr_wall769]

Losing it at "pleasure burger/treasure burger" 😂

[@NicolaeHolley]

It makes me laugh every time he says something like "I am literally the smartest person who has ever been on this platform", because it's balanced out by how often he says something like "I'm actually just stupid."

[@pattininja95]

It's something I have to tell people at work. Don't take it personally when I call you dumb, because I'll probably call myself an idiot 10x more

[@Succui]

@FeedsNoSliesMusicThey probably deserve it though, have you seen how stupid some people are?

[@mikalagounaris_alarmmmika]

I swear to god this man changed my life. I used to think only my grandma was into crosswords, when we played together it made her so happy. This makes me think of her, but also i now understand why my grandma likes these so much

[@ScrombIo]

me watching as NL completes the crossword in 12 minutes that I completed in 51 minutes and calling it a gimme

[@kristenmitchell86]

I can't explain why I love watching NL do these crosswords so much, but it continuously brings me back to the channel. Please keep doing these. :)

[@LeeDee5]

Same here. I think it's because it fascinates me how easily he'll get more obscure words and then the easiest ones have him like triple-guessing himself.

[@mdaily318]

@@LeeDee5 I do the same thing and for me I just think, “it can’t be that easy/simple” and it usually is that easy or simple.

[@Umbra451]

"fish in a crocodile's belly" being croCODile was very good

[@Irakli008]

NL: *deduces SUMMERDAZE with a single letter* Also NL: 36:20

[@TheOtherOlesen]

This and chess have been the poggiest content for me. Got me into doing both on my own as part of my morning routine

[@Potbelly76]

If NL ever discovers "Scrabble," watch out!

[@alecp6265]

Agreed. So fun watching NL breeze through parts I really struggled with while also getting stuck on hints I got right away. It's very fun to compare.

[@soonerjohn06]

Same here

[@calinguga]

@@alecp6265 yep. "puns of the year" was the first crosswords puzzle i've solved in at least 10 years, and the first english one i've ever attempted. took me a full hour of staring at it but i goddamn did it.

[@sillychinas]

I wish NL would bring back chess

[@rodion1056]

Transmission concern: FORDESCAPE

[@lastsummerday]

I never thought I would spend almost 40 minutes watching a bald man solve crosswords. But here I am; 40 minutes later.

[@KVWI]

Some of the highest pog concentrate on the channel right now, for sure.

[@andehhhhhhh]

Pog levels are off the charts for sure

[@yousmellofhorse]

NL not getting “SIRI” straight away just radiates pure boomer.

[@Anon-21j]

My brain started physically hurting when he went "CaSe??"

[@Sceleri]

need a soundboard with "gimme", "owned" and "i am become the joker" etc.

[@AshySpeed]

I like how it took me 1 hour and 25 minutes to complete the first crossword, and this Egg smashed it in 12 minutes. Granted English isn't my first language and all, but it's still wild.

[@lr-]

English is my first language and I didn't even know a quarter of the words up there

[@XDThrash]

Dude predicted Fall Guys getting bought by epic almost a year ago

[@MakeshiftGent]

Its absolutely crazy that I am starting to enjoy NL's Crosswords so much. Give it enough time and NL might just be known for Crosswords over Isaac.

[@FableCountry]

i love watching him get out of a crossword rut. like it's satisfying as a software developer. he's basically problem-solving but with words and trivial knowledge, lol. i haven't watched in a minute but man, this content has me hooked in. now i'm doing the crossword puzzles. thanks for the inspiration, ryan :)

[@dohnutg]

I already do a crossword every day and watch NL every day, so this content is pog for me. I like watching this on YT instead of live so I can pause and do the puzzle first and then watch NL solve it. Yes, I make it into a little game/competition. It is about as interactive as this content can become. NL has a knack for crosswords.

[@xtremegaming1232]

The classic “It might not be [right answer], it could be [wrong answer]”

[@Oomykins]

Loving the crossword arc! I do like it when NL has the answer check turned off. With it on we don't get to see the fun reasoning behind potential answers!

[@scoobyshag85]

I’ve been pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy NL’s crossword content. The man is an actual genius.

[@viedralavinova8266]

Love watching these. One of my old bosses loved crosses words, and always tried to encourage me. Unfortunately I don't know much crossword stuff. But watching NL and the crosswords are very enjoyable. Definitely massages my brain a certain way I'm not used to.

[@caveto424]

I finally understand why ghosts are so angry, as I sit here screaming ECO! over and over again at someone who can't hear me.

[@alaskansalmon8666]

I can never do what NL does but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t screaming Siri at my phone

[@silliestenjoyer]

who knew that watching some dad do crossword puzzles would become comfort videos for me lol

[@thaumaturgeslit7759]

All forms of Trivia content from Ryan is so enoyable!

[@comma_thingy]

9:41 I think the fact ochre is spelt ochre, spring term is the supposedly the last part of the school year, the Fall Guys one is Fall not Autumn probably tells us this is not European in any way, as have none of the other crosswords, which have all felt violently North American

[@takemywordforit4128]

this is all I watch you for anymore

[@DOGroove]

Chess, Crosswords, Geoguessr. Such surprisingly blessed content.

[@XypherFTW]

I never knew crosswords could be so poggy-woggy

[@blaake7892]

this and his tier list videos... idk why i watch them but they do be entertaining

[@RFxSukhoi]

I am surprised by how many times NL said iPhone helper without realizing it's Siri. Also couldn't believe it when he said canta instead of canto. P.S. I am in no way attempting to insult NL.

[@JakeFish5058]

Wait, why not?

[@dawsonescott8428]

huge fan of when northernlion says thursday’s got it funky

[@blakewaskow6167]

Jerri Manthey reference at 9:04 was a very unexpected source of pog

[@audentia617]

Bro the first puzzle he did took me 40 minutes to do and I just watched this man demolish it 🙇‍♂️

[@tron1852]

The summerdaze call is unbeaten

[@erykkruk9991]

I love this crossword series. Ryan is the Boss.

[@illusion6559]

Haven't watched since chess, but this crossword series is definitely up my alley

[@LilyVan7]

It is insane seeing him pull himself out of incorrect words/letter assumptions, his brain is too pogged

[@Irakli008]

33:12 I love his tilted rant 😂

[@applejewsy]

Literally just a middle aged father doing crossword puzzles

[@SHPunctredTire]

"welcome to pleasure burger.. you want a happy end with that?"

Been lovin the crosswords my man 🤙

16 across is up there with the greats

[@dog1783]

Approximately 30:00 is where the jokaire begins to assert himself

[@singlenator9138]

NL really saving the crossword industry

[@valkrieger3552]

15 across "Man in the matrix", I'd argue that clue rules Neo out actually

[@auldfouter8661]

even , seeker and eco were calling out.

[@jackl8025]

Day 49 of explaining NL's song references 7:32 Craig Mack - "Flava in Ya Ear (Remix)" (ft. Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes & Rampage) 10:03 Paula Cole - "I Don't Want to Wait" (reference to "Dawson's Creek") 16:07 Andrew Gold - "Thank You For Being a Friend" 21:26 Eric Clapton - "Layla"

[@goblinirl]

Please keep this content going

[@coolfool183]

Idk any of these words but this is epic

[@scribbleconcept8518]

35 across was my favorite

[@Jamaco67]

The first puzzle was made by Gary Larson! Is this something he does in his free time or could it just be a coincidence?

[@WccDyer]

You don’t have to hit reveal letter after swapping to regular mode. Showing mistakes is intrinsic to regular mode. Hitting reveal letter is the computer showing you the selected letter in this case is was the R in fire.

[@Octoshark19]

I sure could go for a pleasure burger right now

[@BRamz_121]

I felt a bit self-satisfied that I figured out "see also" almost immediately but wtf was that instant "Bran" answer xD

[@IWkris]

NL! I'd love to see you take on the daily cryptic crossword on Simply Daily Puzzles with the Crossword Genius AI helper to help you understand the meta of cryptic prompts. It would be nice to see you stumble on a crossword for once

[@gcal8263]

[@Cromaticz]

Have you tried NYTimes crossword puzzles?

[@bukkfrig]

9:38 This is definitely NOT a British crossword. As a NZer, after doing British crosswords for years I know most of their common references, but the American ones are tough. (Eggo, etc. Hmm, didn't I see some product placement for them on Stranger Things?)

Gary Larson? the same guy that made The Far Side? did he make this crossword?

[@MrXerios]

Not gonna lie, as a non native english speaker i’m quite proud of how well I did on this puzzle.

[@TomLiKESLemons]

Damn watching this has made me feel proper stupid.

[@alastairdouglas1737]

NL should try the cryptics

[@krablord]

Wait is this Crossword made by the 'Cow Tools' comic man??

[@JohnJohnson-vq7ze]

I think it's just a guy with the same name as him.

[@XxzombilovaxX]

Yes crossword!!! Less gooo❤❤❤❤

[@refusalskills]

Wait, so is the author of the first crossword the same Gary Larson that created The Far Side? Or is that just a wild coincidence?
