NYT 4:04 ... LAT 2:05 ... CS 2:04 ... ND 2:48 ... CHE 3:03 ... BEQ 4:48 ... WSJ 4:57 ... DB 4:00 ... MGWC 11:30 (with an error somewhere)

You can make fun of me for (sometimes!!) solving the Parker puzzles, but few of those are as awful as today's Newsday. Talk about a gimmick doing nothing for solver enjoyment. Meanwhile, the LAT puzzle doesn't seem to have gotten any more difficult, as promised -- but at least the clues are much more interesting than they were.

We NORMAL people enjoy actually being able to solve a puzzle (LAT) beyond Monday and Tuesday ... the audience of normal-people-solvers is way larger than the audience of expert solvers, and the point is to sell newspapers ... I'm sure they've got market research that guides how difficult their puzzles should be ...

Oh, I understand, and agree. Just making an observation...
