Hi everyone.
Making this post for meta discussion regarding [email protected] as a way for me to put forth my ideas and for everyone to submit and discuss their ideas as well.
I've been making the daily post for a few months now, but that's focused on the NYT crossword. My reasoning was that I wanted to keep things familiar for those migrating from /r/crossword on Reddit, as there a bot makes a daily post for the NYT crossword.
Well, the migration seems have slowed down a bit. We've got a great community going here, and I want to make sure everyone that visits enjoys it here. Not everyone has an NYT Games subscription for the main crossword. There are plenty of other crosswords that are free and more approachable in terms of difficulty.
I was thinking of moving away from titling posts NYT [Day] [Date] Discussion
and changing it to [Day] [Date] Crossword Discussion
and include links to many of the popular crosswords online: NYT, LA Times, The Telegraph, etc. From there people can choose which daily crossword they'd like to do and discuss it there.
The daily NYT Mini discussion is definitely not going anywhere. I love seeing everyone drop by to share their score, and I will keep that going.
Feel free to provide your input regarding the direction you'd like to see [email protected] go.
I would be interested in posts that link to the Telegraph daily cryptics. I do them a few times a week and follow up with Big Dave’s Crossword Blog to understand some of the clues. It would be nice to have another place to discuss it.
Absolutely! Would love to see more discussions for cryptic crosswords here.
