Because I’ve started doing the weekly Matt Gaffney puzzles but I’m not very good at the meta yet.

i’ve been playing NYT catchup for the past few weeks, have started regularly doing crosswords in general again (i.e. one or two puzzles a day) after a long time without

i’ve been enjoying the chronicle of higher education’s crosswords lately

Yeah, I stopped last week and just started up again this weekend

But I didn’t do the CHE yet or any of last week’s NYT daily puzzles yet

Huh we get the CHE at work but I didn’t realize they have crosswords. How hard are they?

moderate-to-slightly-tough (for me at least)
