Welcome to the new format of [email protected]! Instead of the daily post focusing on the NYT crossword like on /r/crossword, we’re now open to discussion for all daily crosswords.
I request using Lemmy’s spoiler function if you plan on discussing answers - to avoid spoiling the crossword for others. It’s not something I plan on enforcing, just want everyone to extend courtesy to others. For those checking the comments, some spoilers may slip by, so please proceed into the comments with caution.
I aim to post these at 10 PM EST the day before, in line with the current post times.

I.27 on mini, only one minor mistake (spoiler: stupidly put tip for 1A)
Don’t understand the circled letters
The circled letter thing is sort of a pun.

Found the NYT Tuesday to be tougher than usual. Possibly because I am half asleep. Had to check grid.
Netword was far simpler. Puzzle Society Universal was approachable as well.
The Telegraph Cross Atlantic had a theme that I liked, but some of the clues/answers are quite British-focused. Clueless about them.
