What's Going on Over at #beastxword?

Have you done this week's crosswords?

Manage newsletters The Daily Beast Crossword is where power, pop culture, and politics intersect—quite literally.   Designed to be more challenging throughout the week, you can test your knowledge with five puzzles each week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. Play This Week's Puzzles Get in the Game With Matt Gaffney It's been a while since we checked the official Daily Beast Crossword Twitter Hashtag, which is #beastxword.  Let's see what they're saying: ANCISTROID meaning "anchor-shaped," which appeared in the July 17th puzzle since it was featured in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.   Well, David, that must've hurt, and we thank you for not posting a pic.  Hey, it's not a competition. Unless you want it to be. But really, I've seen slower. You're doing great.   And finally: I like that — "did not know it was timed until the end." 4:40's very good, and that's without even turning on the afterburners. I bet you can clear 4 minutes if you focus!   Got something to tell me about crosswords? Just tweet it to #beastxword and I'll very likely tweet you back.
