Why, my debut post Re: 26 letter crossword was responded to with one word, "small". Was it malicious or not?



The standard daily USn puzzle is on a 15x15 grid. This is 225 squares. If 10% are blacked out we still have 203 squares to be filled in with letters. Compared to this, 26 spaces to be filled in is small. No maliciousness, just simple description. But small does not mean simple. The lovely AnnaS and I attacked the puzzle Alex proffered and got something like 4 or 5 letters.
