Are there any puzzles mote challenging than the NYT? Once you learn Schwartz & co.'s tricks they start to get pretty easy.
Also do you guys play any other word games?

Stop spoiling the goddamn NYT crossword you fucking bastard. That's one of the few things I derive pleasure from these days

Can anyone here plow through a NYT Saturday without getting stuck? I'm pretty consistent up til Thursday but always hit or miss on Fridays + Saturdays. How long did it take to get to that level?

Took me a few years to get them consistently. Now I can barely stand to look at a Mon-Wed puzzle.

Same here. I can get through Thursdays rather consisently, but I hit a wall on Fridays. Can't wait til the babyboomers start dying off, so there won't be anymore 70s popculture clues.
