They don't have a leaderboard feature, but if anyone wants to try the full NYT crossword online, Seattle Times has it for some reason: https://www.seattletimes.com/games-nytimes-crossword/. 13:39 for today with no letter reveals.
I don't usually do the full puzzles after Wed, but was inspired to give Thurs a try.  I got only halfway through, and could see it had a fun theme, but couldn't go further.  So I gave it to my mother, who finished it.  Paper, so not timed. 

But then I followed your link, and the Seattle Times had a different puzzle.  I did that one in 26 minutes and change.  Apparently it appeared in the NYT 5 weeks ago, so I guess it qualifies as a DEAL - Wait 5 weeks, and get the puzzle for free.

That makes sense. I was wondering how they could give away for free what the Times itself charges for.

It says at the bottom they syndicate it, if they choose not to charge that’s their prerogative (obvs. The Times is on board with that too).

You’d have come in 5th of 10 so far.

@ckmk47 Do you mean that entering the answer slows you down?  How fast do you type?  https://www.typing.com/student/tests
Does speech-to-text work on the game?
