Which of these daily puzzles reigns supreme?

NYT crossword is the best. Though I don't do them daily, I have one of the Sunday crossword books. They're a good challenge, and I've completely solved a few of them.

Wordle is fun if I remember to play it every day.

Times crossword for sure. I can generally hang with it til Thursday but Fri/Sat is too hard

Same here. I’ll often try the Friday, but it’s rare to get through it without cheating.

I’m not smart enough for the NYT Sunday crossword, but I love doing the Monday thru Thursday crossword in the Statesman, along with the one in the Chronicle.

Crosswords take the cake for me.

Crosswords can get too cute. Spelling Bee pisses me off because I always miss “cocoon”. It’s wordle for me.

Of these, crossword.

When I was traveling almost every week, I most enjoyed the quizzes in American Way magazine (American Airlines' in-flight magazine), which no longer exists.

My wife and I do the Sunday together and can usually tackle it (without cheating) in around 45 minutes. We’ve hit the 35-minute mark several times in the past couple months, but just when we start to feel cocky about it, we’ll get stuck on one for over an hour. Neither of us could solve the Sunday on our own.

As my hair gets grayer my word puzzle time wasting seems to increase.

I really like The Mini at NY Times site. On a good morning I solve it in less than a minute. Wordle is fun too, it's nice to have a puzzle or two that can take less than five minutes while drinking the morning coffee.

The Atlantic crossword starts on Monday almost as short as The Mini, grows more robust but by Friday it's usually too hard for me to bother.

The WaPo crossword, which they steal from the LA Times is a good bigger puzzle that I can usually hang with when I have time.
