Magazine Features Crossword Exploring Code-Switching And Identity

In March 2026 a magazine published a themed crossword that explores code-switching by mixing Spanglish, binary, pidgin, and cultural slang across a 15×15 grid. The editor—a New York linguist who interviewed immigrants and coders—designed clues to reflect bilingual and technological switching, humanizing code-switching as identity and adaptability and suggesting design implications for inclusive language and user experience.
