Kamala Harris: Iconic Presidential Run Inspires Puzzle Trend
Wake up, breakfast, newspaper, crossword — that is how many people start their day. From Millennials to Gen Alpha, crossword puzzles have become an everyday essential — just like peanut butter sandwiches in the morning. With a wide range of topics, such as general knowledge, wordplay, geography, sports, pop culture, and science, crossword lovers are well-versed in their favorite kinds of puzzles. It doesn’t matter if the debate between dedicated puzzle books, traditional newspapers, or online media consumption has a winner or not. We have to admit that things get boring over time — whether it comes to the ‘mode’ of the puzzle or the ‘type’ of it. Luckily, an online puzzle has surfaced that features one of the most talked-about present-day trends. This crossword puzzle is based on none other than the 2024 US Presidential Candidate, Kamala Harris! These Harris-specific online puzzles are available at AfricanAmericanPuzzles.com and are created by Sepia Features, the publisher of African American Crossword Puzzles and Other Word Games + Sudoku V1.5‘ by Ophelia R. M. Banks. Without question, the Harris candidacy has introduced a new kind of energy into the 2024 election season. As the election takes the internet by storm, we witness popular memes making rounds on social media. The memes such as “coconut tree” and “Kamala is Brat” have evolved to become frequently used catchphrases. All of these details, including the Harris-Walz ticket, DNC highlights, and the electoral map, have been updated in the new online crossword puzzles. Some references included in the Harris-specific online puzzles are:
- Behold! The ascension of Tim Walz as Vice Presidential candidate.
- Walz’s selection and the “Dad” memes that followed.
- What’s funnier — Walz joining TikTok OR seeing him mow the lawn?
- Democratic National Convention & the guide to utter Kamala Harris’ name properly (thanks to the current VP’s great-grandnieces!)
- The emergence of various slogans in support of Kamala, such as: “Women for Harris,” “Evangelicals for Harris,” and “Haley Voters for Harris.”
