Fellow solvers: what do you love (and hate) about crossword books? Quick 2-min survey

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m a puzzle fan working on something for crossword lovers, and I’d really value input from people who actually solve.

I’m curious what you love about crossword books and what drives you crazy about them. Too easy, too hard, tiny print, repetitive clues, bad binding?

It’s a short anonymous survey (about 2 minutes): Survey

I’ll post a summary of what everyone said once the results are in. And feel free to vent in the comments too; I’m reading everything! 🧩

Can someone explain the revealer of today’s crossword to me? I just blindly guessed the theme words today because I couldn’t figure it out.

Looking for a challenging puzzle

6 Upvotes

Anyone know where I can get challenging puzzles regularly? I've been doing the newsday saturday stumper for a while now as my weekly hard puzzle but its $75/month and cant really justify paying that much for one puzzle as I dont really use newsday for anything else.
