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

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

              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
