                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
