Barry Silk&#8217;s New York Times crossword
Is this really just a 64-word puzzle? It plays more like a 68- or 70-word puzzle—lots of excellent fill, relatively little clunky fill. I was too busy noodling through the twisty clues [...]]]></description>

Matt Ginsberg&#8217;s New York Times crossword
You know, I just bought Alice&#8217;s Adventures in Wonderland but I still haven&#8217;t read it. That&#8217;s scarcely an impediment to solving this puzzle, though, as LEWIS CARROLL&#8217;s poem &#8220;Jabberwocky&#8221; (from Carroll&#8217;s follow-up, Through the Looking-Glass) is part of the cultural literacy of anyone who&#8217;s addicted [...]]]></description>
