Been really enjoying doing the main NYT crossword too. Here’s my November success rate!

I assumed you needed to have a subscription to do that. Not that I can do normal crosswords for toffee.

You do.

I’d recommend giving it a go if you enjoy the Mini! (Although going by this thread, ‘enjoy’ is maybe the wrong word!)

I’m sure you’d be surprised how well you’d do. They’re designed to increase in difficulty across the week, with the Monday ones being very solvable - save for some annoyingly American clues - but even then it’s not too bad so long as two of those answers don’t cross each other.

As you can see by my record, Tuesday and Wednesday, and the odd Thursday and Friday are just about doable too. But feel like I’m improving!

It’s good fun! :slight_smile:
