This puzzle tests your knowledge of well-established names throughout history. Are you ready for a real challenge? It is Saturday and you must be prepared for a grueling puzzle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 22-Across is about a leaker, but not an ordinary one; a famous political leaker named Edward Snowden. If you are familiar with him and news about his activities, you can definitely answer the question. Let\u2019s review the riddle first: Former employer of Edward Snowden, for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quick answer is National Security Agency. But you have only 3 grids available. So what is the solution? It is easy; just abbreviate the name of organization. Now you have the answer: <strong>NSA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"718\" data-id=\"2027\" src=\"https:\/\/dazepuzzle.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYT-Crossword-Jan-10-answers.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dazepuzzle.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYT-Crossword-Jan-10-answers.webp 1284w, https:\/\/dazepuzzle.com\/mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYT-Crossword-Jan-10-answers-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might have heard all about the controversial North Korea or even K-POP. But you certainly might not have heard as much South Korean political history. Section 34-Across wants us to simply name the first ever president of this country; It made things even easier by writing down the first name: Syngman___, first president of South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may look hard at first; however, we are here to give you the answer. Syngman <strong>Rhee<\/strong> is the first president of South Korea. Just do not forget to study history; next time, we won\u2019t give you the answer (I\u2019m kidding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 35-Across is designed for people who are fond of Literature, especially poetry. The riddle is: Limon was the first U.S.\u2019s Latina poet laureate. For fans of Love and nature poetry, <strong>Ada<\/strong> Lim\u00f3n\u2019s style of writing is an ultimate shelter; poems full of sense and emotions. It is good to see that NYT Crossword pays homage to the influential figure of Literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an influential figure in the economic boom of 1920s, This man played a significant role in US&#8217;s economy during post WW1. I give you a riddle before the NYT&#8217;s riddle; The question is: Andrew ___, banking tycoon who served as Treasury secretary from 1921 to 1932. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This question brings you to an era of controversy and economic ups and downs. However, Andrew was there to regulate the nation&#8217;s finances and debt reduction that defined the Roaring Twenties. As you might have noticed, the answer is <strong>MELLON<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think of today\u2019s puzzle mechanics?
