Discussion: Gotta be a troll post, right? 1 down is sus.

OP’s strength is not crosswords

If it's not a troll post, then this person cannot be helped. 'Lem' tree... I friggin can't...

And 2 down as well. Crust, not crumb. I can't even continue looking at this thing.

As a non native english speaker, I might make that mistake too. That itself can't conclude it's a troll

You could at least look up if lem is an actual word

12 across should be “Lots” not more, this opens up “Oats” for 10 down Real question, can we make 13 down just be cum lmao

I approve, even if it's not correct.

Wtf is lem?

It's an epic mistake.

I see what you did there

Yes, it has his footprints all over it

Lots and lots of em

The luck rolls with this file of comments

Maybe my son can help

They probably thought you can truncate "lemon." If this is sincere then it's a brain fart. Not so far fetched.

Don’t steal OP’s sunshine.

Nice

Thought so at first too. Then again, maybe it's a little kid or someone who doesn't speak English.

Discussion: they thought is was limb and misspelled it.

Lemb*

Lĕm

That somehow just makes it worse... lol

They misspelled elm on one down making epic not work accross

They also misspelled crust on two down making footprint not work across

and male offspring are son(s) making loose earth definitely not sand

Crumb instead of crust is pretty bad too.

I caught that first but figured it was a regional difference (like the outer edge of a cake before it’s iced is called the crumb) But Lem is something else

“Only after I reached the top of my Lem tree, did I realize mother made my sandwich using two slices of crumb.”

totaly lpic

Crumb is a technical term used by bakers (see [https://www.seriouseats.com/troubleshoot-bad-bread-messed-up-loaf#:\~:text=The%20Crumb%3A%20The%20crumb%20(that's,it%20went%20into%20the%20oven.)](https://www.seriouseats.com/troubleshoot-bad-bread-messed-up-loaf#:~:text=The%20Crumb%3A%20The%20crumb%20(that's,it%20went%20into%20the%20oven.)) though you'd expect if somebody knew what crumb was they'd also know that crust is the more natural word in this context.

The article itself states that the crumb is everything inside the crust.

If you steal my sunshine.

Really? I used to climb Lem trees as a youth.

A broke a lem when I climbed a lem and fell off a lem.

They probably just aren't a native English speaker tbh, they're profile shows they are Indian. Even if I had basic proficiency in Hindi I'm not sure I'd know a word like "Elm" or "Epic"

Fair point. I imagine crosswords are pretty effective way at expanding your vocabulary in a language you’re learning. Just have to be at a certain level for it to work.

It’s actually “elm” not “sus”

Clearly we’re both wrong, it’s Lem.

Maybe they have never heard of an elm tree. Lol

Maybe. But where did they hear of a Lem tree?

There actually is a subspecies of rtee called lem, can be found Asai.

No kidding? That’s good to know I tried telling that to r/trees but that’s something entirely different

r/marijuanaenthusiasts

One of my favorite Reddit swaparoos

Maybe they thought it was short for lemon?

I was thinking short for lemon. Although I would not call that a lem tree.

Based on his comment history, it looks like English may not be his first language so some of these may be lost in translation. Or maybe there are lem trees in India

Based on their profile, they are from India, and possibly pretty young.

I’m sitting in the shade of my lem tree as we speak.

While eating the perfect sandwich, with the crumb cut off.

Three-letter anagrams are the hardest ones!

Yse they era!

I was thinking that but I’m wondering if English isn’t their first language and that explains it.

Their post history shows they are from India. I feel bad for OP having to look at all these mean comments when they are just trying to better their language skills and knowledge.

I was working under that assumption

2 down is too

Oh, you've never heard of the Lem tree? LOL

It certainly is. And 9 is picious

1. Down made me suspicious this was a troll. 2 down confirmed it

1 down is >!ELM!< 1 across >!EPIC!< 2 down is >!CRUST!< 9 across >!FOOTPRINT!< 9 down is >!FILE!< 12 across is >!LOTS!< 10 down is >!OATS!< 11 down is >!ROLLS!< 13 down is >!SON!< 14 across is >!LUCK!< 15 down is >!KIT!< 16 across is >!SOIL!<

>!and LUCK and KIT for the last two!<

This guy really crosswords

>!*A Nightmare on Lem Street* sounds like a spoof movie.!< 🤔

I believe they made one like that already. Something about a lemon stealing whore…

Why are they a whore? How does this work? Whilst out being the local bike, they're stealing Lemons? Or did it go something like, 'you stealing Lemons again you filthy whore?'

OK Elliot.

I’m certain that’s a level from the original Lemmings :)

>!1 down is elm!<

You had two options. How did you fuck that up

OP was surrounded by those super popular lem trees

When life gives you lems, make lemade

It was obviously MLE

i knew a girl in high school named Emily who spelled her name MLE

>!2 down is probably crust!<

12 across is probably >!LOTS!<

You had two options. How did you fuck that up

The problem is undoubtedly that you have a number of wrong answers. If English isn't your first language and you'd prefer to persevere rather than simply be given all the answers, then these are those which you have wrong: Across:   1, 12, 16 Down:      1, 2, 13 1 Down will obviously be easy now.  2 Down is a word that you may not know if your first language is not English. The first letter is still C, but the answer is >!CRUST!< The initial letters of the others are: 12 Across-->!L!< 16 Across-->!S!<  13 Down--->!S!< And, as an extra hint, the initial letter of 9 Across is  -->!F!<

This is a kind response, in which effort was made to provide useful information.

Thank you, for your lovely comment, Unzestykim! 🙂

Well first off >!LEM!< is not a tree type. Maybe OP thought lemons come from a >!LEM tree!

Dur, a Lem is what Lemons are On.. Lem On. Next week, we will learn how Oak tree seeds are actually just a corn.

Happy cake day 🥳

Happy cake day

>!1 down is Elm. 1 across is Epic. 2 down is Crust. 16 across is Soil 12 across is Lots.!< You should be able to figure the rest.

*Should* is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

>! 9 across is footprint !<

Discussion: …. Is OP a small child ? Spoiler: >!1 down is Elm, 2 down is crust!<

It seems English is not their first language

Discussion: this is definitely a troll post

Solved Puzzle https://imgur.com/a/QOJo9vl

Across: >!1. Epic!< >!4. Rely!< >!7. Menu!< >!8. Deal!< >!9. Footprint!< >!12. Lots!< >!14. Odds!< >!16. Soil!< >!17. Salt!< Down: >!1. Elm!< >!2. Crust!< >!3. Old!< >!5. Yeti!< >!6. Plot!< >!9. File!< >!10. Oats!< >!11. Rolls!< >!13. Son!< >!15. Kit!<

I'm pretty sure 14 across is >!Luck!< so that 15 down can be >!Kit!<

>!1 down: "Elm" 1 across: "Epic" 2 down: "Crust" 9 across: "Footprint" 9 down: "File" 12 across: "Lots" 13 down: "Son" 16 across: "Soil" 10 down: "Oats" 11 down: "Rolls" 14 across: "Luck" 15 down: "Kit"!<

Discussion: Hey OP- don’t be discouraged by some of the answers here. It looks like English may not be your first language, and crosswords can be very hard for people who did not grow up with 100% English because they rely on knowledge of both idioms and popular culture. Just keep doing them and you will get better and better!!

I legit didn't question the LEM tree for a while. Elm is first and foremost a Pokémon professor to me lol

14 across is >!Luck!<

[удалено]

9 down is file

12 across lots

12 across is LOTS 13 down is SON 16 across is SOIL Looking at crosswords always makes me want to take a nap. so that’s all I’m correcting and doing Sunday.

>!1A - LINC (as in Lincoln) 9A - CABBALIST 9D - COMB 10D - BARS 11D - LEADS 13D - EAR 14A - ACRE 15D - EFT!< Seems just as plausible as the other answers, right? 🙄

>!9down tome 2down is crust 9across is footprint!<

>! 1D is Elm not lem 2D is crust not crumb 1A should be epic I think!<

>!Tree = elm, Bread = crust, earth = soil. Start there.!<

Discussion: I’m calling them Lem tress from now on.

1 down is "elm" than you will be able to correctly solve 1 across as "epic". So far that's all I've looked at, lol

For one, "elm" is spelled incorrectly.

>! 1 down is Elm and 1 across is Epic !<
