Babies grow faster than teenagers, with some infants adding nearly a foot of height per year, making early childhood the fastest growth period in humans, while teenage growth spurts are significant but second in speed.
Adam Wagner and Michael Lieberman, crossword constructors and fathers of fast-growing toddlers, have collaborated on a Sunday puzzle inspired by their children's growth spurts. The puzzle features seven entries with a four-letter run of gray squares, which, when removed, reveal a different term. Examples include "Baller in China" becoming "Ballerina" and "Affectionate squeeze of an infant's bottom" becoming "Baby Bum Pinch." The puzzle showcases playful letter manipulation and cheerful fill, inviting solvers to test their cruciverbal skills.
