This puzzle made me unexpectedly emotional. My dear mother, may she rest in peace, loved playing games—especially Minesweeper on her old Mac desktop and the New York Times crossword. Seeing them joined together in today’s theme brought back so many memories of her. It was a bittersweet reminder of her joy in these little daily challenges, ones we often solved. Thank you for creating something that touched me so personally and let me feel close to her again, even if only for a moment.
This was no fun in the app. The info button could have been used to point out that this puzzle was best done on paper.
Can NYT start another forum for everyone who wants to post to complain puzzles being easy and/or uninspired? Let the grumps have their own turf please!
@Sandy I’m with you. There should be a separate forum for folks who want to complain about how easily they solved this puzzle or that other one.
@Mike R that’s a good point TOUCH ON since we’re going to have an opportunity to ELECT new representatives soon.
@B stop playing the NYT crossword. Start trying to solve Cryptic crossword puzzles instead. You’ll find the challenge you seek.
I’m always excited for a Saturday pizza and grateful to the creators. But I’m here today to kvetch - Two different sets of down/across clues leading to obscure names wasn’t my favorite.
@JohnWM definitely a word I was unaware of before completing the puzzle. Luckily I got the across words and it fit right.
@Eli Edwards I don’t recommend eating the puzzle but it’s your call…
@Charles Nelson Reilly agreed, I kept on looking for the images to be relevant to the answers
@SusanEM Thank you for your kind, caring and generous words!
Hi all, please help me understand how lesbian bar is the answer for she’s out there. I can’t say why, but it feels grammatically mismatched.
@Nancy I liked this one too! Mostly because it doesn’t rely on knowing random names. Atwood took me a bit if time but it didn’t unfair.
