Answers to the 2024 Election Schrödinger crossword
The Clinton/Dole puzzle
Make America Grid again! It’s election season, so it’s time to talk about crosswords! I wrote a previous post on Schrödinger puzzles, the kind of crossword where two answers work at the same time (the cat is alive and dead). You can check it out here.
To remind you, the most famous crossword ever is undisputedly Jeremiah Farrell’s 1996 CLINTON/DOLE ELECTED. Both candidates worked in the seven “quantum” spaces!
In the next section is a modern version, updated for 2024. Enjoy!
