Deservedly, First And Foremost Is The CROSSWORD PUZZLE

________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is

NYTimes.com

puzzle home page

Of course,

the world famous

Crossword Puzzle

gets top billing

Then

there are six 

other puzzles listed

beneath:

The utterly addictive

Spelling Bee

+

the almost equally

addictive

Wordle

are listed

immediately 

below it

(after I X-ed out an advert)

Please note

the puzzle listed last

of the six

is ALWAYS

the one I do first

That is the Sudoku puzzle

which has a global following

but is lowly regarded by

the most influential newspaper

on the planet

Why is that so?

 

After extensive studies,

the New York Times 

research department 

determined that 

Sudoku is a puzzle designed

for people who need 

something to do 

while picking their nose

Do I dispute this research?

Hell no!
