I do about one New York Times crossword puzzle per day, and judging by the number of times the word ogle appears in their puzzles (seems like about every third one), it makes me think:
a) There must not be too many other words in the English language with the letter combination of "Vowel-G-L-Vowel" (I can only think of ugly, and that's if you use the "and sometimes y" vowel rule.)
OR
b) Crossword puzzle authors are kinda creepy.
Just a thought...
will shortz is one of my heroes! he's not creepy!
