Yeah, it's kind of wild how fast those nyt crossword answers are online now! I remember like a year ago, you’d have to wait or ask around, but now as soon as the puzzle drops, there are answers everywhere. Honestly, it’s just because everyone wants clicks and people are super impatient (myself included sometimes). Sites like Try Hard Guides probably have a whole team, maybe using subscriptions or even tech to fill them out crazy quick.

Plus, the more people who check their answers with these sites, the more traffic they get, so it’s kinda a race. I even saw they sometimes explain why the answer works or give little definitions, which helps if you’re trying to learn. Still, it can be annoying if you’re trying not to get spoiled, so I always avoid Reddit and those sites until I finish. But if I’m stuck forever, it’s actually awesome how quick and easy it is to get help now!
