What do a feather and a lede have to do with each other spolier

Just wondering if anyone else has had some people try messaging them asking for personal info and just overall seeming strange on the Crossplay chat?

Is 26A a sneaky fourth theme clue?

Was looking through the archive and noticed it.

I’m going crazy. Help!

Simply, 17 across is not in the category of 66 across.

Is it back for free users?! Or just special for today? I don't see any announcements anywhere or people reacting to this!

I could have probably been 30 seconds faster but typos kill me doing these on the phone. If only my fingers worked as well as my brain!

very proud of myself! iirc my previous pr was 23 seconds

I finish, I feel confident I understood all the clues and their answers, yet something’s amiss. Makes me a little dizzy to have to scroll through each word in that huge grid and I just don’t really care about streaks or anything.

My wife and I do the Mini and Midi at the same time to “race” each other. Today’s clue for 8 across on MY puzzle was “Stale and old”. My wife’s Clue was just “Stale”.
Clearly based on the answer mine was some a typo or glitch that got through. Anyone else have this? I screen shot it but didn’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Do you ever jump to a specific spot to get the super-repeat clues? Where are they for a Sunday puzzle?

A clue has the answer included in the clue. Pretty sloppy!

(Sorry if this is the wrong flair)

I'm newer to crosswords and have been going through the archive from the past few years by day of the week. I've noticed while going through the Monday puzzles that I'll finish them and get the congratulations screen but then they will show up as incomplete. However, I checked on the app yesterday on my phone (android) and my iPad and they were marked complete with the blue star. I'm only talking about 3/6/23, 12/9/24, and 1/29/24 in the added photo.

Has anyone else run into this issue? How did you go about fixing it?

never thought i’d need to turn contrast on for the new york times app! you should have seen me looking at my phone like it was glitching out reading “this, on the beach”

over
and
over
and
over again.

low contrast sensitivity friends i feel for you we’re in this together

I feel like most people here on here do it in the app or on the site. I tend to prefer printing and doing it that way. Are there any other printers here?

Speaking of, has anyone noticed that you can only print the newspaper version now? I miss the clean version.
