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.

If there are any other crosswords you would like to see added to this list, please let me know and I will add it in a future post.

Thank you for being a part of this community!

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.
