I’ve been really struggling with this crossword puzzle. Seven across in today’s Daily Evil Scientist. The word consists of eleven letters. The hint is “Plural for modifying or restoring something to excellent quality, particularly of buildings”. The third letter is n and the tenth letter is also n. I don’t know. I’m really stumped on this one. Who designs these puzzles anyway? How am I supposed to know every word in the English language? Sure, all the words might be related to kitchen installation for evil scientists, but that could still cover so many possible words. It just doesn’t make sense. I don’t know why they ever got rid of the daily sudokus. These crosswords are terrible.
Okay, apparently the answer was renovations, which I don’t know how they expected me to guess. Maybe if these hints were written well enough, I wouldn’t have such massive problems with the crosswords. To be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure why they have such strange themes for them, either. Kitchen installation? What does that have to do with being an evil scientist? Sure, I might be in the market for a high-quality kitchen design near Melbourne, but that is as a citizen of Victoria, not an evil scientist.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but kitchens don’t really have anything to do with villainous science. That is unless the kitchen has giant saw blades used to trap the girlfriends of superheroes. I’ve done something like that to City-Man’s girlfriend before. She didn’t really appreciate it, but she did comment on how it was more original than the alligator-filled pit trap. No, this newspaper has really gone downhill since it was bought by that giant news corporation. Perhaps it is time I cancel my subscription because while I’m interested in kitchen design, that’s not what I want to see out of the Daily Evil Scientist. If I wanted to see some cool kitchen designs, I’d just search the internet for them.
