    @George-K Reminds me of The TImes of London cryptic crossword. I tried it once (and only once!). LOL

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Try mondays. After a number of mondays you will get the hang of it. They are all archived although I think u need a nyt subscription
            Today’s Sunday wasn’t so hard. The circled ones where not that tricky

              Yes. Mondays are the easiest. The NYT Crossword used to b published in the Chicago Sun Times - that's where we did them at work. I have a NYT digital subscription just for the crosswords.

              You have to develop a devious mind for some of the clues later in the week.

              From yesterday.

              EG: "Music Stand" - CDRACK
              "Development area" - UTERUS
              "Home in the country" USEMBASSY

              Sunday isn't usually too devious or hard, just big.

                @bachophile said in The NYT Crossword:

                Today’s Sunday wasn’t so hard.

                "Queen's Realm"

                Really??? LOL
