I do the NYT puzzle on the Seattle Times website, the Universal Crossword on The Globe & Mail, and the iWin crossword puzzle. All a slightly different interface. The NYT I do in competition with myself (12 minutes is my best Sunday so far), the iWin I’m competing with other registered users for score.

[Universal Crossword - Globe and Mail](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/puzzles-and-crosswords/universal-crossword/)  
[iWin Daily Crossword](https://www.iwin.com/online-games/game/play/daily-crossword)  
[NYT at Seattle Times](https://www.seattletimes.com/games-nytimes-crossword/)

Globe and Mail seems to be down today for some reason.

Do note that the NYTimes puzzle in the Seattle Times lags by 5 weeks (today’s puzzle is the NYT puzzle from June 17.) You probably know this, but just in case others don’t, the NY Times puzzle in various papers is usually a week to a few weeks old, which may or may not matter to you.
