The word SEA is in each of seven 9-letter answers, and it progresses from the first trigram to the last trigram as it goes through SEARCH OUT, USE [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Barry Silk&#8217;s New York Times crossword Barry Silk&#8217;s got both the Saturday NYT and the LAT crosswords. The NYT is rather challenging, while the LAT is more like a breezy Friday NYT. The NYT is a 70-worder, the LAT 72. Despite my love of knotty crossword challenges, I actually preferred the LAT this time. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patrick Berry&#8217;s New York Times crossword Patrick Berry, a 64-word grid, long answers stacked four or five rows deep in every corner, and hardly any 3- or 4-letter answers? How can you go wrong? Well, for starters, it was somehow crazy-easy for me, taking just two seconds longer than the Thursday puzzle, which in turn [...]]]></description>

Every time I change directions, the active square jumps to the side. I tried a few different options in the &#8220;solving&#8221; menu, to no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Krozel&#8217;s New York Times crossword Nice puzzle to close out the year, though rather easier than I was expecting for the Saturday puzzle. It&#8217;s even one row taller than usual, so it should have taken longer. Highlights: The quadruple stack of 15s in the middle has pretty smooth crossings (TESSIE and RETRIM felt &#8220;meh&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tom Heilman&#8217;s New York Times crossword Call me crazy, but my single most favorite thing in this entire puzzle is the bizarro clue for the humble word EATS. 26d: [Manducates]! You can faintly see the etymological connection to your chewing mouthparts, your mandible. (Not man education, no ducal mandates, not Manchurian dates.) But have you [...]]]></description>
