I have been an avid fan of the NYT’s crossword puzzles for years. I look forward to the Sunday puzzle every week and usually start solving at 3 pm on Saturday and finish on Sunday. Today’s puzzle was so unsatisfying and disappointing. The theme and answers were a reach for the normal solver. The recent puzzles aren’t fun for me anymore. I really miss Will Shortz.
@Chris I agree. Far too hard. Saturday’s puzzle is always challenging, but it’s not fun when you don’t get enough answers to solve some of the crossing clues.
The Sunday puzzle is always my favorite, and this one was fun and a delight to solve. Also, I want to take this opportunity to welcome back Will Shortz. I missed him.
Happy birthday Will Shortz. I miss you.
@Alex This was a much harder puzzle for Monday. Beginners, don’t be discouraged.
I will miss you Deb. I have always enjoyed your analyses, comments and explanations. You will be hard to replace. Enjoy your retirement.
