The columns in this section are available, for the moment, only to subscribers to TWD-by-Email. If you are a subscriber, simply enter your password in one of the boxes below and all the columns will open for reading. (You must have cookies enabled in your browser for this to work.)
If you are not yet a subscriber, please consider supporting this site by subscribing for $15 per year. Subscribers receive access to these columns as soon as they are sent to newspapers, usually at least two months before they appear on this website. After a couple of months, these columns are unlocked and added to the free public part of this website.
Everything on this site is free eventually, thanks to our paying subscribers.
Incidentally, as a subscriber, you would be able to read not only the current batch of columns, written last week, but also about sixty more that haven’t yet “rolled over” into the free part of the site (and which are not yet reflected in our Index). So by subscribing for a year in November, for instance, you’d actually have access to Subscriber Content going back to June of this year.
If you are having password problems, read the rest of this post.
Problems? Don’t freak out. The solution is usually very simple. You will need your password, emailed to you when you subscribed, to access the columns in this “Subscriber Content” section. You will also need to enable cookies in your browser; if you enter your password and it asks for your password again, your browser is not accepting cookies. Your browser’s cookie policy is usually found under “Preferences” or “Security.” Setting it to accept only “Session” cookies (which are erased when you close your browser) is fine, but you will need to log in again every time you visit this site. If you set it to accept long-term cookies from “word-detective.com,” you’ll probably never have to enter your password again. Again, all you need is the password I sent you when you subscribed. You do not need to register or have an account on this site. In fact, no one can register on this site anymore. If you registered in the past and picked a password, you can safely forget it. You also don’t need a password or user name in order to comment on posts in the free public section of this site. Please let me know if you have problems accessing these pages by writing to me via the comments form.
