Crossed Crowns

Cute!

Cute but too easy. I humbly suggest following the NYT crossword formula by making each puzzle progressively harder throughout the week, with Saturday or Sunday being highly challenging. Today’s would be a “Monday” because there were few surprises as to where lines belonged. I like to utter “What??? No way!” once in a while after a misstep and then being baffled for a moment as to where the next line belongs.

Beautiful….but would you please throw in a more challenging puzzle, like “the zebra” or “the challenge” once in a while, please.

I love their expressions.
