Oh, New York Times crossword compilers. It’s all fun and games until you ACTUALLY get replaced by AI.

Sometimes a straightforward #NYTCrossword is nice. I enjoyed the themed, paired crossings today.

I went back to solve this past Wednesday’s #NYTCrossword after seeing a lot of grumpy complaints about it. While the #MadLibs-style storytelling in the across clueing was undoubtedly awkward at times, I applaud the audaciousness of this novel conceit.

Curious about today’s #Wordle - #NYTCrossword seeming thematic link. Just random, or an Easter egg?

I appreciated the clever theme in today’s #NYTCrossword, but the rest of the clueing was too literal for my taste in a typically straightforward Monday puzzle.

Somewhere, somehow, I think I *might* have made a mistake. #newyorktimes #nytcrossword #Crossword #Comedy

I loved the gastronomic theme of today’s #NYTCrossword, though I kept trying to make it more complicated than it actually turned out to be. I was very satisfied with the solve.

The Thursday #NYTCrossword sometimes can be hard to digest, but I find it’s usually worth taking a bite at my favorite weekday puzzle.

Maybe today’s #NYTCrossword wasn’t *quite* extremely online, but it definitely glanced in that direction. Themed answers were clever, especially for a weekday puzzle. One nit: lazy to reuse Grindr and Tinder in two unrelated clues.

Cute if literal-minded theme in today’s #NYTCrossword. I’m not a speedrunner (removing the artificial stressor of a timer is one reason I vastly prefer pen and paper), but this was a quick Monday solve.

Today’s #NYTCrossword was relatively fresh and straightforward, with a couple bits of clever cluing that made me smile. But overall too easy for a Saturday puzzle.

What just happened‽ #NYTCrossword

Today‘s #NYTcrossword literally made my jaw drop. Well played Daniel Jaret!

Nerd brag. Today was my 3000th #NYTcrossword #obsessions

Looking like a weirdo in front of my fellow public transport users when I laughed out loud at the theme in today’s #nytcrossword 🥰

3,000 day streak! #nytgames #nytcrossword #nytimes #Crossword

A little off the pace, but 100 streak is a good start for the year

Would it be better if everyone just stopped reading the NYT and stopped referencing it?

It is, and has always been, a paper of the right and foe of workers and minorities.

Stop reading it. Stop doing their puzzles. Stop linking to it.

Delighted to receive this cute cat-adorned mini-crossword postcard as a thank-you for donating to @rexparker’s daily NYT Crossword blog (https://rexwordpuzzle.blogspot.com/). I’m working on solving it in my head instead of writing on it, although I do suppose it was meant to be filled in.
