As a W. Shortz's fans whose limit is Thursday's level of difficulty, this collection includes many that are a stretch for me. Love that they keep my brain working.

Puzzles are of varying difficulty which suits us just fine. Some days it is good to have an easy puzzle. So far they seem well diversed and they are mostly on the small grid side. I still like the Sunday crosswords the best.
