@chrisfoley I really enjoy the Puzzmo crosswords. They’re not as challenging as a late-week NYT, but the 15x15 and big ones aren’t super easy either. The minis are a bit easier. They tend to be really creative and my favorite thing is that there’s usually a note from the constructor and the editor at the end about the creation process.
