Started solving the NYT crossword just over a week ago and today was my first 7 day streak! Nice to swap out doomscrolling with something that actually makes me feel I'm getting smarter (if only because as a Brit in Sweden there are a lot of US or NYC-specific things I have to Google). I enjoyed this one while solving and enjoyed it even more when I read the constructor's notes. Will have to rewatch.
@Emlyn This was also the first crossword I've managed to do without having to google anything (yes, even the baseball ones!) So I totally get your excitement :) Tillykke!
@Francis that is one of the things I had to Google! I kind of feel like the streaks don’t count if I Google things but I’m giving myself a bit of leniency considering how many sports clues there seem to be (and how little I know about sports, let alone sports which aren’t even played here). Hypothetical celebration coffee very much appreciated!
@Andrzej Yeah Trotsky caught me out too ‒ Lev Trotskij in Swedish which I assumed would be Leo in English
