I have to say, doing the New York Times used to be a staple part of my day, but now it seems to be a competition of game makers on who can be the most complicated. This is supposed to be a fun lighthearted mind jogging activity, some clues are hard and others are straight on but now I feel like you’d need to know the writers own personal lingo and the background knowledge of a jeopardy contestant. I’m not saying this is supposed to be “easy”, however there used to be a satisfying feeling about finishing the crossword and now it seems to be impossible without using the internet and what not.
