Me when NL is BLASTING every word in the universe: "How is this mega mind doing this wtf" Me when I see a SINGLE word before NL does: "How is this dunce not getting this?" Why is my idiot brain like this
Saaaaaame. I was so disappointed when he was hitting one random letter after another, finally got to d, and said, "Is it possible I have something else wrong?"
The most cursed moments are when NL is stumped on a word for minutes because he misread the prompt, like misreading sty as sly, and trying to put something after zero and minimum instead of before. Despite this his completion time is ten times better than what I could ever manage myself.
I was so sure that "_____ of (lacking)" was "devoid" I was practically losing it until I realized I should have never doubted NL's crossword prowess. I am ashamed of my actions and my deeds.
one thing that helps me with these crosswords a lot is paying attention to the tenses of verbs in the clues. for instance, the clue "Purposely _plays_ less well for" is in third person, and the answer is also in third person. that line of thinking also helps me keep my mind open for possibilities on vague clues. with a clue like "Goofs", it's easy to assume it means a noun like "mistakes" and overlook the possibility of it being a verb like "errs".
Hi NL, you should pay attention to the tense of the clues. They often give away if the word will be plural (you know it will end with S), or past/present. This makes the puzzle easier
The title is "Breaking the Code" To CHEAT is to BREAK the rules or CODE Things that are LEGAL don't BREAK the rules/CODE You can HONOR a CODE and/or can BREAK it MORSE is a type of CODE that can be cracked or BROKEN
fell asleep watching your crosswords playlist, woke up with my phone at 2%, and just in time to get dinner. now im gonna charge my phone and continue watching (not sleeping) on my laptop
I've been binging these crossword videos for so long that I'm starting to get good at them myself. Wasn't even looking at the screen when you said "build on" and my immediate response was "add to" without even seeing what letters were on the puzzle already.
@Northernlion have you seen the "Cracking the Cryptic"-channel? They are primarily a Sudoku-channel, but started as a British cryptic crosswords solving channel and still occasionally do so. It's an entirely insane style of crossword you might find interesting.
Okay but I have a massive test coming up in a few hours. I know the material but there’s a lot riding on it and I also don’t know how my technology will hold up. For whatever inexplicable reason, watching egg solve a crossword is the only thing calming me right now
Loving the crossword content! Here's some advice if you want it. * If you see any of plural, abbreviation, acronym, foreign language, informal/slang; the answer will be of the same form. E.g. UFO pilots -> E.T.s (acronym + plural); Telly network -> Beeb (slang). * I think you've already worked it out but when a clue ends with "say" or "for example", it's like a Jeopardy clue where the clue is an example of the answer. * Traditionally Monday crosswords tend to be easier and the difficulty increases throughout the week. Not sure if that applies to the site you are using, though.
At 29:30 NL says "maybe George Mason, that was a joke, haha, fat chance" as a portal song reference even though the word mesa (like black mesa, the original lyric) was in the same crossword puzzle. This is of zero importance but I felt the urge to point this out because I am very bored at work.
NL is on average much better at this than me, but when he gets stuck he gets stuck for a longer period of time than me, and that creates a unique brand of reverence and rage
I thought him making an input mistake (like with ONN) in the first one would be as frustrating as it gets. But good lord, there's something about him misreading clues and never realising it afterwards that's way more frustrating. Good content, but it gets me so riled up, lol
The thing that irks me is when NL guesses verbs with different tenses and perspectives than the clue. For example, "Purposely plays worse" is present third-person singular, so you should expect the answer to be as well, in this case "goes easy on", or how "Rolled up" is past tense, so the answer should also likely end in -ed ("TPed"). Often, verb hints can easily answer a letter or two without even knowing the answer as a whole.
These are a fun. Its nice to watch this kinda content cause i get to get mad at nl for not knowing something that was obvious to me because i know he is way smarter than me and much more capable of solving this than I. Punching up is the best entertainment frankly.
Also NL, for such a smart guy, it really surprises me that omnipresent tripped you up. It's one of the three deific traits of Yahweh: Omnipotence (all powerful), omniscience (all knowing), and omnipresence (meaning his presence is everywhere, or all places).
DO A CROSSWARD WITH DAN GHESLING! that would be funny and sick. battle of the wits. either together for comedy or separate with timers like old 3..2..1 go issac runs. same crosswords or different ones.

Lol. Definitely guilty. Pest was mine xD.
@@zacm1488 right at the start of the video too, I mean, have mercy on us already.
why are we the same person
That's why I play the crossword before I watch the video to get a perspective. Can't talk shit if I solve only 70%.
Same as fuck
the legendary yoko onn
wife of john lennoin
@@genethesupreme T H E C A L L B A C K
Yoko oh no
rip yono ono
Yoko Onn had me in actual SHAMBLES the whole time
Saaaaaame. I was so disappointed when he was hitting one random letter after another, finally got to d, and said, "Is it possible I have something else wrong?"
20:50 had me saying Ono
it was merges also for me, when you have the whole thing figured out its alot more fun to watch NL dithering through it
NL was almost thwarted by the legendary Yoko Onn.
I didn't Think absolute zero or absolute minimum was that hard to Think of
I am so pogged for this series. It’s the perfect combination of being “How can he not see it” and “Holy crap, how did he see that”.
The duality of Egg.
NL will quickly understand the most obscure complicated things but stutters on easier more obvious ones. It’s fantastic.
So true dude!!
i found it weird he saw "logroll" before "merges"
@@groundbeef92official and so many more 🙈😂

Depends if you're doing hard mode or normal
"'Pound sound' is "ARF"? How is-" *sudden comprehension and incoherent angry noises*
God, that got me good.
Is it because "pound" refers to a dog shelter?
Yep. He was thinking sound effects like 'Pow'.
gets words I've never even heard of but chokes a bit on peakaboo
If he gave that one to the baby she would've had it on lock
lol when I saw it was P E E _ _ _ _ _, I thought maybe there was some game about guessing when the baby would pee next
He choked on ET_ ffs
I see NL is already training to be a 90 year old grandpa.
This would be insanely impressive to be this speedy at that age
that "see me after class" awoke something in me that I thought I left behind long ago
I was so sure that "_____ of (lacking)" was "devoid" I was practically losing it until I realized I should have never doubted NL's crossword prowess. I am ashamed of my actions and my deeds.
SAME
i will really watch this man do anything huh
Agreed
It's a weird TH-cam channel where crossword puzzles can be some of his best content. NL is a weird egg.
@@NicolaeHolley yes he is LOL and when he’s not with his beautiful wife and daughter he’s our weird egg 🥚
Yoko onn , really screwed up Jon lenoon’s career in the Beatlees.

Why is this unironically the best gameplay I've ever seen on the platform?
I love that there's "mesa" on the board, but he sang the "maybe black mesa" line on Still Alive because of something else
This was a fun segment, I enjoyed it very much. The Yoko Onn debacle was incredible, chat was dying
That last puzzle's hidden words spell out "cheat legal honor morse"
Waste of my freaking time going back through the video haha
The title is "Breaking the Code"
To CHEAT is to BREAK the rules or CODE
Things that are LEGAL don't BREAK the rules/CODE
You can HONOR a CODE and/or can BREAK it
MORSE is a type of CODE that can be cracked or BROKEN
@@gingermlg Didn't even think about it I was so concentrated on them being related to each other
@@gingermlg It's kinds of code, broken into two parts in adjacent answers. Cheat code, legal code, honor code, moral code.
@@iabervon that's a much simpler way of explaining it, lol.
@@iabervon the last one is "morse" code though, not "moral"
him leaving onn instead of ono killed me for so long.
I can feel all the graphic designers and digital artists scream at NL not finding Merge. Blessed content
and everyone who drives a car propably
@@Apokalypse456 You are right! I forgot that in English you also merge when you drive
“Adele’s voice range: ALOT” is exactly what I was thinking too lol
My mind was blown when I finally understood "Breaking the Code"
Cheat (Code), Legal (Code), Morse (Code)

This man has the superpower to be backseated. First ep I was so impressed, but now it seems my English vocabulary has expanded so much
lmao that's such a good way of describing nl
First round got me screaming like Yoko Onn's art piece
You can be my Yoko Onn.
You can follow me wherever I've gone.
The huge payoff on the pun is worth watching until the very end
I work nights, and these crossword vids give me a great start to my day, man. Hope the views go up on these so you keep doing em!
for the people who dont want spoilers in the thumbnail, you could always just use a screenshot from the previous video/puzzle from here on out
I'm actually stunned that NL knew who Sonny Rollins was instantly. My favorite saxophonist of all time, but usually people are like "Sonny who?"
I remember watching this live falling asleep and now I can watch it again during lunch, gotta love this blessed timeline
3 letter word: to open one's mouth in surprise or delight
Onn
Aha

Does this website have a dark mode? I'm trying to fall asleep to these but the bright white kills my poor eyelids. Ryab pls.
Finished the last episode to find this right after. 69 across: poggybaby
Have fun staring at Yoko Onn for 15 minutes
Dude should do cryptics he'd be good at them after a while. It's a good thing for chat to teach him the conventions and stuff.

As a new dad, I can’t believe he missed peekaboo.
He’s all over here like BETADECAY, But can’t figure out baby things.
He probably saw 'new' and thought of a newborn. Would you really play peekaboo with a 1-day old?
god tier title pun
I’m always pogged for NL trivia bits.
Absolutely loving the crossword content NL! It's getting me properly pogged up!
After watching the whole video, this title is amazing!
all this brain power, and my man still misses tinted rocks.
Seeing some cryptic crosswords (clues are puzzles) would be great!
Why do I like watching this man do crossword puzzles?

Also caught this and was hoping someone would bring it up. Makes no sense
Idk if anyone’s told you this, but the plurality of the answer will always match the plurality of the clue, which is why bugs wasn’t right.
Whenever he went back to the flute one, i kept saying TOOTLE TOOT
who would have thought crosswords would be this pogged up
NL is on average much better at this than me, but when he gets stuck he gets stuck for a longer period of time than me, and that creates a unique brand of reverence and rage
I just watched all of meglebox season 2 last night and the whole time after "eden" during the 2nd puzzle I was like "nomad, nomad!!"
Not me shouting “logroll” and “merges” at my phone during my lunch break lmaoo
I can't believe cross words are megahype, i love this segment
I love these and I'm going to be said when these eventually stop coming.
The short form of toilet papered is clearly "TP'd" and not "TPed".
Every time I think of John Lenonn, I also have to think about Yoko Onn
Cracking the Cryptic sometimes does Cryptic Crosswords between doing sudoku.
Now THOSE are a challenge.
The amount of times i'm paraphrasing Billy Eichner during these videos. On my "name a vowel" shit lmao
Also, more crossword content please Ryab, very entertaining
This dude is out here typing in beta decay to help him figure out eat. What a cursed mind.
When was the last time NL has heard/read the word "portend" and how many times has he heard it total
I thought him making an input mistake (like with ONN) in the first one would be as frustrating as it gets. But good lord, there's something about him misreading clues and never realising it afterwards that's way more frustrating.
Good content, but it gets me so riled up, lol
The thing that irks me is when NL guesses verbs with different tenses and perspectives than the clue.

Me starting this: "no way he can make me interested in crosswords."
Me halfway through: downloading crosswords app
These are a fun. Its nice to watch this kinda content cause i get to get mad at nl for not knowing something that was obvious to me because i know he is way smarter than me and much more capable of solving this than I. Punching up is the best entertainment frankly.
man some of these answers were just so obvious
And here I thought ryan knew every single word in the world. Feel betrayed!
It's been forever since I played crossword puzzles but clues for ones on dictionary seem just awful a lot of the time.
a mistype can really mess up your entire crossword huh
POG CITY! Also, can we have chess again? I was watching old videos and it was omega-pog!
This is slowly and steadily climbing to be in my top 3 series on YT
Does anyone else sit there yelling at their laptop/phone when you have an answer he hasn't gotten yet?
The sty sound clue in the second one was definitely snirt for me
Also NL, for such a smart guy, it really surprises me that omnipresent tripped you up. It's one of the three deific traits of Yahweh: Omnipotence (all powerful), omniscience (all knowing), and omnipresence (meaning his presence is everywhere, or all places).
NL thought that the clue was saying that 'omni' MEANT 'present', rather than just being a prefix that could come before 'present'.
The crossword software doesn't have the archive go back enough to do "breaking the code" :-(
My boy has gotta turn those tap sounds off in the settings menu.
when are we getting a sudoku stream?
golf clap for "beta decay"
This one was painful to watch. Especially when he's so tilted.

A: A person who engages in excessive backseating.
Q: Who am I?
big "potholes" energy
If he sees this then please for the love of God pay attention to the tense of the phrase in a clue for the verb
what the fuck how does your brain move at the speed of light i can't even comprehend this
Pest, peakaboo and etc were pretty easy for me.
when clicking on the crossword link, does it also not load for you guys?
