The big-deal jazz-pop star Laufey is from Iceland, but she shouldn’t have any problems playing English-language word games, since she partly grew up in Washington, DC. Also, pretty much everyone in Iceland speaks English anyway. Don’t get cocky. Don’t think you have some sort of natural advantage over Laufey. There’s a reason that NYT Games made Laufey the focus of its new campaign where you can measure your scores at Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, and the Mini Crossword against “our most dedicated celebrity puzzlers.”
