[Dr. Seuss mode on] I did not enjoy this puzzle. I did not enjoy it one bit. [Dr Seuss mode off] I agree that there needed to be both horizontal and vertical cross-referencing. I also feel that the answer key, which I looked at after finally solving, 30-plus minutes over my average time, was misleading. It’s not helpful to show the rebuses instead of whatever letter was supposed to go in the “missing” space of each Across theme answer. The xwordinfo key was much, much, much more clear, and reminded me why I pay big bucks for xwordinfo. Please do better, editors. This is supposed to be entertainment, not Torture.

@Mortiser: The puzzles are released at 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday and Sunday for the next day, and at 10 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday through Friday. I have an alert on my phone, and it’s always right on time—never a minute early or late.

Is anyone else not able to post their time via text? Both Tuesday and today, the puzzle icon appears but the time does not. For example: “I solved the Monday 9/14/2026 New York Times Daily Crossword in 9:43!” is not showing up.

Unrelated to the puzzle itself, I am wondering if anyone else using iOS 27 is now unable to share their scores. I have reported this and the Puzzles technical team says they are working on it, but I wonder if it’s not just me.
