If you could create your own corner of the internet what would it look like?įrankly, I’m already kind of doing it! The existing puzzle community is super engaged, but I want to expose it to more people and bring in fresh blood. I’m pretty caught up! All I have left is the Vulture review of the Station 11 show. What articles and videos are in your Pocket waiting to be read/watched right now? I’ve always been a bit of a lurker on the internet – I’m a gossip so I read all the comments but I get anxious about posting myself. But I definitely had a little Myspace that I decorated. I’m a little behind in this space because SOMEONE (dad) made me use dial-up until I went to college even though we definitely had the technology in the early 2000s. What was the first online community you engaged with? It’s a great way to get a little confidence boost each day. People can post their scores without ruining it for other people, and the limited number of tries makes the game achievable. Wordle is just so accessible! Not just the gameplay, but its spoiler-free shareability. Why do you think Wordle has become such a positive corner of the internet for so many people? I just hired a new staff writer, and we have a fabulous new community manager helping to revamp our social media presence.

I don’t know if people realize, but we have a vertical where we write about puzzles and games and the community. Right now, I’m really excited about the content team I’m building.

I don’t think people realize how much work and process goes into it. My wonderful little team! I just started my second year with the New York Times games team, and I spent my first year rehabbing a lot of our processes and fact-finding and strategizing. What can you not stop talking about on the internet right now? I also lost this Brandon Taylor essay I had been saving when I restarted my computer and lost all my tabs I’m still sad about it. I mean accidentally clicking out of Spotify mid listen is always weirdly devastating even though it’s not that big a deal. What is the one tab you always regret closing? And weirdly, I’ve been reading a lot about nail art because it’s really fascinating all the different ways people do it. Right now I’ve deep-dived on League of Legends - I’m not going to play because, to be honest, I suck at fighting games - but I love all the little bands and pop groups and Arcane was phenomenal so now I’m just reading about all the characters and I hope they make more stories. I’m also a psychotic Wiki reader, like I give them money because I use it so much. It’s not really a deep dive but I clicked on this Alison Roman profile SO fast. What is an internet deep dive that you can’t wait to jump back into? I also try to support the original creators by funding through Patreon and other sites. It just adds so many layers of depth - the original work of course but also the commentary helps me understand culture, translation difficulties and even a little about the translators themselves. I also read a lot of webtoons and manga online and there’s a whole community of people who scan, translate and comment on work from all over the world. My algorithm is perfectly curated to me: anime, alt fashion and makeup, booktok, and mental health jokes. Unfortunately, I am obsessed with TikTok. What is your favorite corner of the internet? This month we talk with Everdeen Mason, the editorial director of The New York Times Games team, on what she’s reading, her TikTok algorithm and shaping the puzzling community online. In My Corner Of The Internet, we talk with people about the online spaces they can’t get enough of, what we should save in Pocket to read later, and what sites and forums shaped them. We all have an internet story worth sharing.

The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for people to connect with others, and lets everyone find where they belong - their corners of the internet. In front of each clue we have added its number and position on the crossword puzzle for easier navigation.Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we are also quick to point out that the internet is pretty darn magical.
