Ever feel like the NYT Crossword is staring back at you, mocking your vocabulary and logic skills? You’re not alone! Many of us have faced the crushing defeat of an unsolved grid, especially on a Wednesday or Thursday. It’s okay to admit it: sometimes, we just have to walk away.
That’s right, we’re talking about throwing in the towel, at least temporarily. It doesn’t mean you’re a quitter; it means you’re human. And maybe, just maybe, stepping away from that daunting puzzle will actually help you crack it later. It’s all about perspective and a little bit of self-care.
