Posted today, tomorrow's acrostic by Mike Shenk starts off with (possibly) a shout out to this discussion board!

I thought the same thing!

Me three.

My first time solving an acrostic online. Gotta say, it's a lot easier on these aging eyes than squinting at those tiny numbers!

Yes, it's great when the online version works! It's been a little flaky at times over the past year. I hold my breath each time I see an acrostic, before clicking to see if it's going to be working this month. The main thing I like is that you don't have to do all the error-prone transcription of letters back and forth from the quote to the clues!

The NYT acrostic too is online.

Completed and enjoyed the WSJ Acrostic -- although it took me a little longer to "sort" things out than I would have expected!

Thanks! I didn’t realize that. Just did it. It has a clean user interface.
