I would like to share a concept that many people in this comment section (and the elected officials we are sadly stuck with in the US) seem to find difficult to grasp. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it is terrible, or shouldn’t exist, or that other people shouldn’t like it. If you don’t like something, don’t partake and move on. You don’t need to rant about it and try to stop others from enjoying it. To everyone griping about the puzzle and complaining that this type of Thursday-style PUZZLE should not exist or not be published in the NYT: thank you for reminding me why I typically stay away from these comments. The whining is unbearable.
@Jordan One of the great things about crosswords is the more you do the more your skills increase. We all had to work our way up to doing harder and harder puzzles. Not every player will be able to solve every puzzle (at least on their own) and that’s ok - that’s how we learn additional tricks of the trade. If every puzzle had to be solvable by every person without any help, all we’d have are Monday puzzles. Wouldn’t that be a little boring?
This puzzle was just delightful! Tarun, congratulations on a stellar debut - I’m excited to see more of your work in the future!
@Daniel So if you don’t like something no one else is allowed to enjoy it?
@John Carson Omg thank you! I didn’t realize that either and that corner had me stumped
@Vaer Thank you! I’m a huge Beatles fan but I do the crossword in my phone app so I didn’t know how to get to the bonus puzzle.
