Well I got star killer and finished the southeast corner but it turned out I had a few letters off in other clues. Sundays can be a pain. Just too damn big.

I hate it when the NYT crossword does this: Put at least two letters in the space of one square.

By the way, the clue for 6 down is "Artificial Bronze."
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

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.
