The clip the puzzle master Part 2 from Wordplay (2006)

because puzzles don't pay much.
But I wanted to do puzzles so badly, I was willing to live in poverty to do it.
Excellent. Capitals of States.
Um, Carson City.
Oh, that was good.
Snow White's Dwarfs.
Oh, boy. Uh...
Snoopy? Is that one of them?
No, not Snoopy. No.
Snappy's not one of them either.
So when I took over the job at the Times in 1993...
I thought I really understood puzzle solvers.
It's addressed to "Mr. Will Shortz, the smartass crossword puzzle hero. "
"This one last Saturday was ridiculous. "
"You should be hanged by your cojones for this Monday puzzle. "
"Give me a break. " "I couldn't solve it even with the answers in front of me. "
"Dear Sir or Madam. "
"It's Monday, Mr. Shortz, not Friday. "
"This is both idiotic and completely unfair. "
"This kvetching thing that's going on I can't seem to get a grasp on it. "
"Who in the hell ever heard of three letters in a single box?"
"The kvetchers cry: 'Oy vey'? I don't get it. "
"How is it used? Is it a Northern thing?"
"Frogs hop, sir, but toads do not. They waddle. "
"You have managed to take all the fun out of it. Congratulations. "
"No wonder William F. Buckley stopped doing these puzzles. "
"You are sick, sick, sick indeed. Sincerely"
The best part of the week for me is reading the mail.
"P.S. You're sick, sick, sick. "
Hearing from sobbers is the best part of the job.

Those are all secondary things.
The biggest thing is to stretch people's brains and bring joy to their lives.
