Yet again, @NYTGames runs a #crossword that the @Puzzazz app can support easily while the #NYT app fails. It's mystifying. We helped the NYT for free for many years, until they blocked us. We've offered to work with them, but it looks like they'd rather have a broken app.

Nice idea. It’s a shame that you don’t allow solvers to use the @Puzzazz app anymore. Everyone could have access to both sets of clues for the @nytimes @NYTGames #crossword in one download. One of many fantastic Puzzazz features.

It’s not just crosswords. There is one solver who has told us at least 20 times over the years that they’re never solving the @Puzzazz Daily Puzzle again. And yet ….

The @Puzzazz app works wonderfully well on the new M1 and M2 macs. So it's now iOS and macOS. (And the work we did to handle absolutely any screen size, rather than just the known devices list, has paid off.) I wish everybody had an M-series Mac!

@nytimes @NYTimesGames give us back Puzzazz! Apologize for your anti-competitive and anti-subscriber rollback in services. #NYTXW

@NYTimesGames hi. I pay for a yearly crossword subscription. And have the newspaper delivered. Quite bummed you stopped making the xword puzzle available for solving on Puzzaz. Please reconsider. Thx. #NYTXW @Puzzazz puzzazz.com/nytpuz

@NYTimesWordplay has blocked subscribers from solving #NYTXW puzzles any apps but their own. Very disrespectful to its loyal subscribers who pay a premium. Much prefer @Puzzazz and will reconsider renewing or gifting.

Please reconsider your decision @nytimes to block @Puzzazz from being the best platform to do the #NYTXW on. Puzzazz offers a great way to keep your puzzles stylistically in sync. Allowing them to continue would be far simpler than redesigning your online solver.

For only the 14th & 15th time in decades, I didn’t solve the #NYTXW Monday & today. Other 13 times were when I was the puzzle author. I ❤️ the puzzle and #WillShortz but with @nytimes @NYTimesGames blocking us from solving in @Puzzazz, I don’t know when I’ll solve it again. #Sad!

I can't emphasize enough what a big deal this is. On a weekly basis, the NYT app fails to accurately reproduce the daily crossword, usually because of some delightful bit of cleverness from the constructor. @Puzzazz ALWAYS gets it right.

@NYTimesGames @NYTimesWordplay So disappointed to learn that you will no longer supply .puz files of the #NYTXW so that we can use the best app available - @Puzzazz Please reconsider your decision

.@NYTimesGames For years I’ve subscribed to NYT crossword & solved it in the excellent app @Puzzazz. Now you have cut off their ability to download #NYTXW for subscribers. Don’t force us to use your inferior app. Puzzazz duplicates the printed puzzle & it helps you to support it.

Sad to see that @NYTimesWordplay no longer supports @Puzzazz . Please change that. Puzzazz is a great way to complete the Times puzzle.

The folks at @Puzzazz are just another group of puzzle-loving people who are trying to enable crossword fans to solve puzzles in the best possible way. It's absurd that apps like theirs and @blackinkapp should ever be perceived as controversial. We help to promote their art.
Official Puzzazz statement on @nytimes @NYTimesGames blocking our users from solving the NYT crossword in the Puzzazz app. The best crossword deserves the best app, and paying subscribers should not be restricted to the NYT app. #nytxw puzzazz.com/nytpuz

That Puzzazz software is the BEST for highlighting gimmick puzzles upon completion. I may save a screen shot of it!

Couldn't resist a follow-up to @stellaphone's nice #crypticclueaday. Un-rot13'd: [Colorful guy Ken all-in after lost deer (5 5)] = DERE*+K[ALL]EN. Yes, @derekallen77's a constructor of color, but his sweet @nytimes #crossword this week was, literally, colorful. #explanationfriday

FYI the @washingtonpost Sunday by @evanbirnholz is great in @Puzzazz on iOS. On Mac, use KrossWordz or Crossword Solver, not Across Lite.

How hard is the New York Times @nytimes Crossword? #Startup @puzzazz (a @founding graduate) has the answer. fi.co/posts/29001
