That was… slow. But I got there. I came back to it about 4 times throughout the day. Initially I got the NE and then the middle, and struggled the most with 28D and 31D, as well as a number of their crosses.

Any week I get all the way to Saturday I’m pretty happy, and this week I got them all, so that’s a win!

Nice!

How long have you been doing NYT crosswords?

I started during covid and could only do Monday and some Tuesdays, but with a few years of practice I can get most days now (with those odd days when it just doesn’t click). I am not a speed solver or a streak chaser, but I enjoy doing it every day!

Edit: And I used to like going to r/crosswords after I solved and seeing what others thought. I rarely commented there, but I feel a drive to help kick off this new community here on Lemmy, so I’ll keep chiming in around here!
