Washington post mini crossword

The Santa Barbara—based singer-songwriter, investment fund founder, and former Princeton math major had a unique side hustle that he wanted help with: constructing crossword puzzles. White began interning with Muller that spring, and together they invented a new kind of puzzle series for The Washington Post : the daily mini meta. The series consists of six 5x5 puzzles, with one puzzle published daily from Monday through Saturday. Since it launched in March , the daily mini meta has seen a percent increase in the number of daily solvers. In fact, it was so successful that Muller offered White a full-time position, which White accepted, deferring his junior year at Princeton. The Post has since picked up the series through To create the mini meta, Muller and White first have to generate a final solution. Muller and White cite their different skill sets as a reason their collaboration is so gratifying. White is big on language and puns; Muller is a music lover with a knack for math and business. We do that for each other in a great way. He texted White the issue; White suggested changing one letter of the solution word so that it would be the name of a reasonably identifiable — or at least Googleable — rap artist named Bhad Bhabie. Problem solved, and interesting new tidbit learned.
