[E-trademarks] NYTimes Strands puzzle

Tue Jun 3 21:19:39 UTC 2025

Hi Rafa,

No, Uber was not one of the answers.  The theme was “That’s Proprietary!” and yes, the answers were all marks that are often treated like generic terms.  So kudos to the puzzle creator for highlighting that issue – just wish they hadn’t made the main word as “Trademarked.”

Hmmmm. I don’t play the game but I have two questions: 1. Was UBER in the puzzle? Asking for a friend. 2. What was the theme? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone Rafa Gutiérrez ----- This electronic mail transmission and any attachments are

For those among us who do the various Times puzzles, I had a love/hate relationship with today’s Strands, that I am sure is shared by all of you.
