In continuing the comment I made down here, I thought I'd check the Walmart cereal boxes. It doesn't seem they've picked up doing regular NYT style crosswords. (still at four different ones of those I've discovered).

Anyway, I thought I'd share a pic below of a different way that crosswords can be. This is one called a codebreaker, or in other books a codeword (what I'm used to seeing these as). It seems the difficulty is based on how much they give you to start as the other one I found was bigger but got two words and was pretty easy compared to this one. And I've found some of those codewords that turned out to be impossible for me.

Just thought I'd share, in case there's people here that haven't seen this kind of puzzle before.

For lack of a better place to put this where it would be relevant. All I see in searching "Shower curtain" here are interior decorating type subs. If there's a suggestion of a better/best place for this I'd be welcome to hearing that too:

I'm in a place with a shower stall that has a curtain (more of a plastic liner) with a 1" lip on the bottom. As I measure it, it's 32" wide x 72" height. I'm looking for a new plastic liner where I don't have to throw down a ton of money to replace it (around $30-40 if I order one online to measure, costs way too much that I'm not doing that). No ventilation and a drip from the shower generating moisture (not in a place where I can do anything about either one myself), so it gunks up pretty readily even if I pull it across as best as I can. So I end up running it through the washer with a cup of bleach to take care of the gunk and tearing up the liner. At this point it's too torn up to do that much, so it needs replaced.

Problem is that I can't seem to readily find anything suitable that fits this stall without buying huger ones (most readily available to me are 70"x71"), so I'd have to cut it width-wise. Course you can see another problem with the height. The last one I tried (and failed, money wasted) after I cut it to fit the width kept sweeping up and over that lip and would have put water on the floor if I actually took a shower.

So any ideas? The one I have now was another cut one that I went through this similar process of getting others and wasting money when I cut them to find that they didn't work right. Magnets in the bottom of this one, which probably are providing enough weight to keep it down so it doesn't put water on the floor. So right now thinking I just need to find a 72" heavier plastic liner (and unfortunately) cut it again and hope it works out. Or I've seen a specifically marked shower stall one, but it's 54"x78", which means I'm cutting in two dimensions if I try that one.

So how to solve this problem in a more cleaner way than what I've described? Or if I'm cutting these plastic liners, any easier way to measure and try to cut than I do now so it's not such a huge headache?
