Okay, so I was messing around with the New York Times Crossword puzzle the other day, as you do, and I stumbled upon this clue: “Tennis star Alcaraz.” Now, I’m not the biggest tennis buff, but the name did ring a bell.
First, I googled “Tennis star Alcaraz crossword clue” to see what popped up. There were tons of results, all about this crossword clue, some even said they solved it as recently as June 6th! Most of them seemed pretty confident that they had the right answer, and they were tagging it all over the place with #CrosswordClue.
