4 comments about The New York Times Toughest Crossword MegaOmnibus, Volume 1 (NY Times).
- The title of the book is a bit misleading, though strictly speaking it might be historically correct. These are good and entertaining crosswords, but surprisingly easy compared with current N.Y. Times Saturday puzzles. I find I can typically solve a crossword from this book in about half the time a current puzzle takes.
- I'm no super-brain, but I really expected more from this collection. The regular New York Times Sunday Crossword books are superior to this edition.
- I guess I expected these crosswords to be along the line of the Sunday Times puzzles. Briefly, if you like your crosswords really tough like I do, these ones will be way too easy. I put the book away after doing only a couple and haven't touched it since.
- The other reviewers are right on the mark. These puzzles are much too easy for anyone who likes a crossword challenge. They are small in size, with a preponderance of well-known four- and five-letter words. Worse, the puzzle constructors haven't even tried to come up with challenging clues (exs: "Famous constellation" for Orion; "first-aid contrivance" for sling). Many clues are simple fill-in-the-blanks. My average solving time for these is five-ten minutes, and I'm one who is often challenged by the Sunday NYT Crossword compilations.
The publisher's idea of including a Puzzle Meter on the back of their crossword volumes is nice, but classifying these Saturday puzzles as "maximum hard" is ridiculous.
