"Social Media Fails". How so?
April 28, 2018 9:12 AM
Ok, this is driving me nuts. The theme of today's USAToday Crossword is "Social Media Fails". How do these answers fit? Spoilers below the fold.
The four related answers are:
ICEDSOMALIA
MOSAICIDEAL
ALICIADEMOS
ILIADCAMEOS
I'm stumped! If the answer is pretty obvious, maybe just answer with a hint?

anagrams of SOCIAL MEDIA
and as such they fail to make those particular words.

Fails is a pretty standard way to clue anagrams in cryptic crosswords. Of course this is not a cryptic crossword, and I'm sure USAToday does not expect that even 10% of their readers know crap about cryptics, but I would bet you a hundred donuts that their puzzle editor and/or whoever set this crossword is a fan of them.
