The crossword was published in The New York Times, published online on the newspaper’s website, syndicated to over 300 other newspapers and magazines, and distributed on mobile apps.
This puzzle was created by various freelance designers and edited by Will Shorts in 1993. Crosswords are designed to increase in difficulty throughout the week, with the easiest puzzles on Mondays and the hardest on Saturdays. The Greater Sunday Crossword, published in The New York Times Magazine, is an icon of American culture. It should normally be as difficult as Thursday’s puzzle. The standard Sunday crossword is a 15×15 square, while the Sunday crossword is a 21×21 square.
