After seeing @Rob P's post, I had a look at today's. On the third line I had all five letters and not one of them was in the right place. So, I got it in four.

Is it me, or is it getting harder now it’s “set” rather than random ?

WHY would the nytimes pay money for a perfectly good game, and then mess it up?

When finding yesterday’s hard, it does make you start saying “oh, have they set a double letter” or “an ‘xy’ so that there’s only 1 vowel.”

One of the setters of the Waitrose crossword (I know, I know) is easily recognisable because they try to be “clever”, and they’re obviously not.

Yes, I got to line 4 and thought surely it's not xxxxx? Is that a word in the US. Seems it is!

Well, that's my streak blown. :(

Got today's in 6. But, as elsewhere, my mobile is defunct and so playing today on an old phone reset my 50 (I think) streak back to zero.

Away you go @Pete L You have your target.

My streak is long gone - didn't play every day - but still 100% with 16 to go then.
