My elderly mom loves to work the NY Times Crossword puzzle. In the past, I would find this page a day calendar for her in Borders (miss them) and put it in her Christmas stocking. This year, I did not find it in the stores, so it was omitted. A couple of weeks later, Mom asked me to try to find her one ... proof that it has been a hit all these years. Luckily,  came through for me.
I cannot live without my Day-to-Day NYT Crossword Puzzle calendar--I buy one every year. These are the DAILY puzzles, you'll have to buy another book to get the Sunday puzzles. I do other paper's crosswords, but Will Shortz and the New York Times puzzles are the best.
These puzzles are a joy, sometimes fun, more often tough, maddening, even abstract and unfair. On the radio Will Shortz sounds like a sane person, but as the puzzle editor he is merciless. Hey, it's the Nu Yawk Times after all. Watcha 'spect?
Very handy format. Love the Times X-word. I take a bunch of pages with me in my purse. Sometimes need a little help, but the solution is on the back side of each puzzle page--no need to carry around a whole book. I do wish they had a Saturday AND a Sunday, instead of just one for the whole weekend.
I have bought this calendar for the past several years and consider it a "must have" item. The puzzles are a perfect size for trips, at home, and at work. I have also bought this for friends and family - they love it, too.
I love having the puzzle, and doing the NYT crossword daily (on the 'real' paper) is one of the joys of being semi-retired. But I have a a few little gripes preventing me from giving it 5 stars. First, it does (along with a lot of other page-a-day calendars) only give six per week, with the Saturday/Sunday puzzle being the Saturday puzzle (no NYT Sunday puzzles included), so you only get about 313 different puzzles. Second, the puzzles are too recent; the 2013 puzzles are from 2010 - 2011; I even vaguely remember doing some of these the first time around. Third, their too small although that's part of the nature of the beast; I usually photocopy the puzzles at 150% enlargement to fill a 8 1/2 by 11 page.
I first received the Times crossword calendar as a gift several years ago. I have made sure I re-ordered one for myself every year since! I enjoy cross words and especially the challenge of the increasing difficulty as the week progresses.
I just got mine for .75 at a thrift store. All the fun and none of the suspense if you turn the page to see the answers. If you remove the paper from the pastime back, the plastic back perfectly supports a Kindle Fire HDX in landscape orientation.
