Dr. Spencer Reid:
Six letters. "Between the waves."

Alex Blake:
Slatch.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
Yes. 10 letters. "Wandering alone."

Alex Blake:
Uh... If it's Latin in origin, alone is "solus," vagare is "wondering," 10 letters... S-O-L-I-V-A-G-A-N-T.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
Congratulations, Blake, you just finished that crossword puzzle in seven minutes.

Alex Blake:
I mean, you could do it, too.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
I've done it in five and a half, actually. There's a theory about pattern recognition where you don't even have to look at the clues anymore, but I found that going across instead of down helps because the sequence of saccades and fixations in traditional reading assist with other oculomotor tasks such as solving crossword puzzles.

Alex Blake:
Ah.

David Rossi:
Happy Wednesday, my nerds.

Alex Blake:
Hey, you're here early.

David Rossi:
Apparently not early enough. I missed all the excitement. You do that in pen?

Alex Blake:
Is there any other way?
