After solving over a thousand, this was the first non rebus puzzle I’ve enjoyed so little that I just hit the reveal button halfway through… blech, this was zero fun.

If you need six paragraphs to explain the gimmick it’s probably not any good

Thank you for an excellent crossword puzzle that didn’t require gimmicks or paragraphs of explanation, and instead relied on simply being appropriately challenging. Thursday through Sunday should always be like this.

Or you could just tell us when there are non standard puzzles since lots of people hate them.

It would be so great if these lame gimmick based crosswords could be a different category in the app, for those who don’t hate them, and we could just get a normal crossword puzzle every day instead.

I wish you’d just make good crosswords instead of whatever this convoluted nonsense is.

I hate gimmick puzzles so much. I wish there was a standard crossword daily and these could be in a separate section for the people who enjoy them. At least label them so they could be more easily skipped.
