What Is The Answer To The Candice Joke

Bright-eyed this morning, I dove into the crossword and the goddess-of-discord clue popped up like a little mythological wink. For a classic clue phrased that way, the common fill is ERIS — four letters, crisp and neat. I like the economy of it: three consonants and a vowel, easy to slot in if you already have a couple of crossings. If the pattern on your grid looks like R I S or E I S, that’s another nudge toward the same name. What I always enjoy about that entry is the little lore that comes with it. Eris is the Greek deity who tossed the golden apple that sparked the whole drama between the goddesses — a perfect bit of backstory to hum while you pencil in the letters. There's also the modern twist: a dwarf planet discovered in 2005 got the name 'Eris', and that astronomy tidbit sometimes sneaks into longer themed puzzles. If you're filling by hand, trust common crossings first but keep 'ERIS' in mind — it’s one of those crossword classics that appears often. I still get a kick seeing ancient myth and modern science share a four-letter slot in a daily grid; it makes finishing the puzzle feel like connecting tiny cultural dots, and I like that little bridge between eras.

If you’ve stared at a grid and the clue reads small salmon, my brain immediately flips to the juvenile term 'smolt'. I get a little thrill when a short, specific biology word shows up in a puzzle — it's the kind of tidy, nerdy nugget crossword constructors love. A smolt is the stage when a young freshwater salmon undergoes physiological changes to head out to sea; in puzzles it's the handy five-letter fill that fits a lot of crossings. I usually check the letter pattern first, and if the enumeration is (5) or the crossings point to S---T, 'smolt' locks in cleanly. That said, puzzles can be slippery and setters sometimes go for other options depending on length or tone. If the clue expects four letters, 'parr' is another juvenile form of salmon or trout, recognizable by the vertical bars or spots along its sides. You might also see species names like 'coho' or 'pink' clued simply as types of salmon, but those are species rather than size/age descriptors. Then there’s 'kelt', which refers to a spent salmon that has spawned and survived, so it’s the opposite lifecycle-wise but pops up in fishy puzzles too. Context matters: if the clue reads small salmon (4), think 'parr'; if it’s small salmon (5) or young salmon (5), 'smolt' is the usual suspect. I personally keep a tiny mental list of these terms because they repeat across themed puzzles, nature-themed crosswords, and British-style clues. When I’m solving on a commute and can't remember whether it was 'parr' or 'smolt', the crosses usually nudge me into the right wildlife term — and I always enjoy the little ecology lesson tucked into a Saturday puzzle. Seeing 'smolt' in a grid makes me smile; it’s compact, a bit obscure for casual solvers, and just specific enough to feel rewarding when it clicks.

For most puzzles I reach for the six-letter fill 'ELATED' as my go-to — it's the crossword workhorse for 'overjoyed'. If the grid gives you six squares, ELATED almost always fits the tone, the letters are common, and constructors love it. If the pattern suggests eight letters, 'ECSTATIC' is the natural leap: it carries a slightly bigger emotional boom and matches longer slots well. For a tight four-letter slot, I check whether 'RAPT' could be intended; it has that older, literary flavor and crops up in British-influenced clues. I also like to walk through the thought process aloud: scan the crossing letters first, then match the intensity. If the clue's surface hints at a very high degree — words like 'utterly' or 'simply' — lean toward 'ECSTATIC' or 'EUPHORIC'. If the clue feels casual or contemporary, 'THRILLED' (eight), 'GLEEFUL' (seven), or even the colloquial 'OVER THE MOON' (if the puzzle allows multiword entries) are possibilities. In quick daily puzzles you'll usually see ELATED or RAPT; in themers or themed Sunday grids, constructors might prefer the flashier ECSTATIC or EUPHORIC. I like picturing scenes from books when choosing fills — someone receiving a long-awaited letter in 'Pride and Prejudice' might be described as ELATED rather than ecstatic, which feels too modern. That little linguistic instinct helps me lock the right word. Personally, ELATED still gives me the most crossword joy when it clicks into place.

There are a handful of six-letter verbs that crossword setters reach for when the clue reads 'communicate', and I've learned to spot the likely candidates by tone and crossings. 'Convey' and 'inform' are the two that show up most often for me — 'convey' for getting an idea across and 'inform' when someone is being told something. 'Relate' tends to appear when the clue hints at telling a story or reporting. 'Signal' is the go-to if the clue implies nonverbal or coded communication. 'Impart' has that slightly formal, literary bent and often appears in clues about giving knowledge. I also keep 'notify', 'confer', and 'parley' in the back of my mind: 'notify' for formal notice, 'confer' or 'parley' when the clue leans toward discussion or negotiation. Crossings usually seal the deal, but thinking about whether the clue is formal, conversational, or physical helps me pick the right six-letter fit — it’s a tiny semantic dance that never gets old to me.

Short clues like that usually hinge on letter count and crossing letters, so I treat this like a little logic puzzle. If the grid wants a four-letter fill, my brain immediately jumps to judo or sumo. Judo is extremely common in crosswords because it’s short, internationally recognized, and fits cleanly; sumo also pops up when the clue leans toward traditional Japanese wrestling rather than the more modern martial arts. If the pattern allows more letters, I scan for karate, aikido, kendo, or one of the spellings of jujutsu/jujitsu. Crosswords sometimes prefer the simpler romanizations without hyphens, and sometimes the grid theme nudges you toward a specific spelling. So I usually pencil in judo first, then test crossing letters; if they force a different vowel pattern I switch to kendo or aikido. I love how a few crossings can lock in the right martial art and make the whole section click—it's oddly satisfying.

When I got pulled into a karaoke night with friends a few months ago and someone suggested 'I Started a Joke', I had to double-check the legality in my head mid-serenade — because it’s one thing to belt out a tune and another to unknowingly step on copyright toes. Speaking as someone in my mid-twenties who loves singing covers for fun, here’s the deal in everyday terms: singing a copyrighted song in a private setting (like your living room with friends) is usually fine. If it’s truly private and non-commercial, no formal permission is generally required. The tricky parts appear when the performance is public, recorded, broadcast, or you display the lyrics in a printed or digital format for others to copy or use. If you’re doing karaoke at a commercial venue — a bar, karaoke box, club, or a restaurant — most legitimate venues already pay blanket public performance licenses to performance rights organizations. In the U.S., that’s groups like ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC; in the UK it's PRS for Music; other countries have their own societies. These licenses cover live vocal performances of copyrighted works, so as a singer you’re usually cleared to perform 'I Started a Joke' on stage at a licensed venue without chasing down the songwriter yourself. But if you’re planning to stream the performance live on social media, post a video on YouTube, or display the lyrics on-screen in a commercial environment, that introduces other rights (synchronization rights for video, mechanical rights for reproduced music, and sometimes specific permissions for printed lyrics). Practical tips from someone who’s learned the hard way: pay attention to the source of your karaoke track. Use licensed karaoke services or well-known karaoke machines that explicitly state they have rights cleared. If the event is at a place you’re renting or organizing, ask whether they have public performance licenses. Don’t project or hand out printed lyrics from the internet — copying and distributing lyrics without permission is more likely to trigger infringement claims than just singing. And if you plan to upload a performance video, check the platform’s copyright tools and the song’s publisher policies; sometimes the platform handles rights and monetization automatically, sometimes it mutes or claims your video. Bottom line: sing it loud for your pals at a licensed spot or at home, but be more careful if the stage includes cameras, a paying audience, or printed lyrics for distribution. Personally, I love hearing that song at open mic nights — it always feels strangely bittersweet — and with the right setup I’d happily sing it again knowing the permissions are in place.

I've watched 'Batman: The Killing Joke' more times than I probably should admit, and to be blunt: visually it often nails Alan Moore's panels, but tonally it takes a detour. The core sequence—the Joker's sadistic monologue, the camera angles that echo Brian Bolland's artwork, the infamous shooting of Barbara Gordon—are adapted almost scene-for-scene in places, and that familiarity feels great as a fan. Where it departs is the added prologue and the emotional framing around Barbara and Batman. The movie tacks on a long set of scenes to give Batgirl more screen time and a romantic beat that the comic doesn’t have. That changes the pacing and the moral ambiguity Moore built; his book skews darker and leaves you unsettled in a way the film sometimes softens or distracts from. Also, the ending in the comic is famously ambiguous—Moore and Bolland left room for interpretation, while the movie flirts with a couple of new tonal notes that didn’t sit well with a lot of readers. Personally, I still love seeing those iconic pages animated and hearing Mark Hamill’s Joker—there’s joy in the craft even if the spirit shifts, but I’d always recommend re-reading 'The Killing Joke' itself afterward.
