For constructors: NYT RejeXions

#1

Post by damefox »

Hi constructors,

I know we love to celebrate when someone gets a puzzle published, but I think equally interesting are the puzzles that don't make the cut. I wonder if there are others like me who are occasionally frustrated by the NYT's alleged rationale for some of their rejections, so I made a place for those puzzles!

If you had a perfectly decent puzzle rejected by the NYT (sometimes their feedback really does include the words "this is a very good puzzle, but..."), would you consider sharing it with me here? What you get out of this: I will send you an uplifting email assuring you that the NYT editors were very silly to reject your puzzle. More details are on the form itself, but you retain all rights to the puzzle and are free to submit it elsewhere.
