Dear editors. Please make the Info link open the NYT app and not stay within the games app. Thank you mucho.

Not a fan of how the link to the column now opens within the games app instead of opening the NYT App. Why the change and can we set it back to the “ol’ timey” way of opening the column?

Once upon a time I would have given up on this one. But the well known general advice worked for me. I worked a few clues, did something else, went back to the puzzle, got a burger, went back to the puzzle. Went to fish. Then went back to the puzzle. And voila - I finished it. About 15 minutes slower than usual. But turned out to be a very satisfying solve. Lesson: let your back office brain gears churn for a bit.
