      I did today's and it had some devious clues.

      "Shifty little sucker" - ***NSFW content***

      click to show

      "Bendystraw"

      "Pill alternatives" - ***NSFW content***

      click to show

      "IUDS"

      "Alabama is in it, but Alaska is not" - ***NSFW content***

      click to show

      "Lower Forty Eight"

      "It's a little shady" - ***NSFW content***

      click to show

      "Bonsai Tree"

      "Exclamation with a shake" - ***NSFW content***

      click to show

      "Brr"

      "SALT but not PEPPER" - ***NSFW content***

      click to show

      "Nuclear Pact"

      "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.

                        Today’s Sunday wasn’t so hard.

                        "Queen's Realm"

                        Really??? LOL
