Crossword Puzzle Difficulty - NY Times vs ? I am a casual crossword puzzle solver. When I read/hear about the NY Times crossword there seems to be this aura of prestige or something that goes along with it like it is the major league of crosswords. My question is how does the NY times crossword compare in difficulty to other major newspapers like the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, Cleveland Plain Dealer, LA Times etc. An additionally question, where do city newspapers get their crosswords? How many of them are unique to just that paper every day? I'm sure some must be syndicated or published nationally, especially in smaller papers or else there'd be like 1000 new crosswords a day in papers. Ranger, thanks for your answer. But is the NY Times crossword supposed to be the most difficult? ie is a Monday NY Times harder than a Monday Baltimore Sun?
