    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***

    "Nuclear Pact"

    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
