I’m glad somebody asked this. I was doing a few different crosswords a day at one point as well and every day there are words from the other crosswords in each others’ puzzles. It feels like they’re copying their homework!

Mine was only a few months ago. I would do USA Today, Dictionary.com, and Washington Post.
