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.

NYT mini: 1:39, got that wonky wrong atleast 3 times!
Just beat me at 1.42. Turns out SDN is not one of the answers
Pennsylvanian in 4.17, but only after guessing a couple of wrong letters and trying random ones. It’s quite hard :/
Yeah the Pennsylvanian was definitely tricky. The clues with the author’s name were fun.
- NYT: 2:22 - Brutal. Brain no work.
- LA Times: 0:39 - Far better.
- USA Today: 0:28
- WaPo: 2:30 - used 2 reveal letters
- Pennsylvanian: 1:34 - Thought this would be trickier, but it was fun.
- Telegraph: 1:28
- Puzzle Society: 3:21. Love the post-completion commentary they have for every Modern crossword.
