And I followed that up by making a mistake in the Medium Sudoku, so I pivoted to the Easy one.
Not my best day...

Made a silly mistake (yellow on upper right), so that took the pressure off, but I still managed to blow it several more times...

A big thank you to Sam today for giving us an easy puzzle on a Tuesday, so I could build a 2-day streak!

I know it took me almost 37 minutes, but I got a perfect solve on a today's hard puzzle! I realize most of the 36% of people today who also had a perfect solve on this puzzle probably did it much faster...

And then I started a medium sudoku, got stuck, and just decided to pivot and do an easy one. Not a good puzzle day for me. I still haven't found a pangram in today's Spelling Bee.

So in this video, I tried to do the NYT Medium Sudoku, as I do when I don't get a perfect solve on Clues by Sam. And apparently my anxiety is such that I almost immediately made a mistake, so I pivoted and did an easy one...

So today is Greek Easter, and so I will be spending the whole day with people, so I'm having a bit of anxiety, as evidenced below.

Back on track today with a perfect solve on a hard puzzle. The slow time includes the stretches of time where I was saying "What am I missing?"

In a discouraging turn, I also blew the perfect solve on today's medium sudoku. So, for the first time since March 15th, here's today's NYT Easy Sudoku, with a little bonus at the start.

This medium sudoku was also very fun. I'm trying to get less discouraged by my inevitable failures on Clues by Sam.
