Lighthearted NYT Word Search Game: Friends Find the Best Dirty Words in Daily Puzzle

A group of friends has turned the daily New York Times word search into a lighthearted and unexpected pastime by hunting for the most outrageous words and phrases they can find. Recently, one of them claimed victory with a particularly eyebrow-raising find: "EATCLOWNS***."

The word search puzzle, which appeared on the NYT website, featured the theme "Bed, bath and beyond." However, it seems the puzzle grid had a few surprises in store. The word "EATCLOWNS***" was prominently highlighted, much to the amusement of the friends.

The puzzle grid, a 10x8 matrix, contained a variety of letters that serendipitously formed this shocking phrase. The letters included:

```

E A C W N S W A

L T N E T A O C

Commenters on Reddit shared in the laughter, with one stating, "Naturally we call our side game Mercury Rising," while others chimed in with their own humorous takes. Comments included phrases like "The ball sac," "WET BALLS," and "It tastes funny." One user humorously noted, "Doing this every day will strengthen your brain and help avoid a nursing home, but once you do get there, you’ll randomly say stuff to the aides, like Eat Clown S***."

The friends' new favorite pastime of searching for dirty words in the NYT word search has certainly added a splash of humor to their daily routine. As one commenter put it, "Filthy yet wholesome!"

With the theme of "Bed, bath and beyond," the puzzle was supposed to be innocent, but the unexpected discovery of "EATCLOWNS***" has made it a memorable and laugh-inducing experience. Whether it's finding words like "SLIP IN A TEN TON CALK" or "WET BALL SALT," this group has truly mastered the art of turning a simple word search into a source of endless entertainment.

For anyone looking for a daily dose of laughter, joining the hunt for the most outrageous words in the NYT word search might just be the perfect new hobby.
