5.0 out of 5 stars APPROPRIATE CROSSWORDS!

This is the 2nd "NY Times Crosswords" book I've ordered. Both were designated as Sunday crosswords. The FIRST one was terrible. Makes me furious just thinking about it. Filled with OBSCURE trivia, foreign words, etc. Those crosswords were absolutely impossible to finish... and I do most Sunday NYTimes crosswords in an hour or less!
THIS book, however, allows you to use your sense of wordplay, figures of speech, humor, wit and creativity to figure out the answers. YAY! Still difficult, but DOABLE! Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clues and grid do not match for #58 of Volume 9
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
I set a goal to complete one Volume 9 crossword per day without referring to any outside reference sources. The task was challenging, but none of the puzzles were impossible to complete except #58, where the answer grid did not match the number of clues. (across: 63 clues, 61 answers in the grid; down: 79 clues, 77 answers in the grid).

5.0 out of 5 stars Improved My NYT Sunday Crossword Aptitude Dramatically!
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020
Verified Purchase
Before I started doing the puzzles in this book, I had only every completed one NYT Sunday crossword--in 1988 (I remember because I cut the completed puzzle out of the NYT mag and still have it). When I began doing the puzzles in this book, I started, but didn't finish, about a dozen of them. I kept at it, and I've now completed almost all of them, some in one sitting. I'm almost finished, so I've just purchased another volume. Can't recommend these enough! Great brain exercise, and lots of fun!

These puzzles do require you to have an elementary knowledge of German, French, and Spanish, literature, the arts, geography, etc.--i.e., nothing a good college education wouldn't accomplish.

If you're frustrated, keep at it! You'll be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars NY Times puzzle books ‘hit and miss’
Reviewed in Canada on January 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
I’m a big fan of NY Times crosswords. This is not the first collection I’ve purchased, and generally they do not disappoint. However, I find the puzzles in this particular collection extremely challenging. All of them. In this respect, it differs from previous collections. There are many to choose from, so it’s a bit of a crapshoot in terms of what you get. I also prefer the spiral bound books, because they’re easier to work with, and I wish all the collections were made the same way.
