Same here. I'm working on Wednesday for several years now. I can get about 1/3 on a good day.I've been doing NYT daily crossword puzzle over 40 yrs, do digital mini crossword every day
They get harder as the week goes on,Iusually can get Mon&Tues
I don't think that's cheating. It's creative, better than not completing the puzzle.figuring out one letter by going through all the vowels on consonants.![]()
