I for one enjoy the recent bump in weekend difficulty. Not every puzzle needs to be a mind-musher but the 8 minute Saturdays were getting a little disconcerting, and dare I say boring. I am 100% in favor of making the NYT Xword a puzzle for everyone, which I think Mr. Shortz has done a commendable job accomplishing. I'm just also of the mind that completing the Saturday NYT should still mean something. Lord forbid I have to start doing the Harper's cryptic to satisfy my need for challenge...
I loved this puzzle! Saturdays haven't been exercising my brain for a bit and this felt fair but with a little bite. Two thumbs up!
@john ezra Hello, also from Pittsburgh! Hope yinz survived the pahr ahtage n'at! (Many of us are still reeling from a storm last week that led to a declaration of emergency. Our borough looked like a war zone. Streets ripped up, houses smashed. We were 140 hours without power.)
