Hello, solvers! I apologize for the silence from this channel over the last few days. Earlier this week, the New York Times Tech Guild, whose members contribute to NYT Games, went on strike, and I decided to refrain from posting that day’s solve as an expression of support.
Unexpectedly, this triggered the sudden realization of how overloaded I am at the moment in terms of my total daily workload and number of life commitments, much more than when I began this series, for a variety of coincidental and interlinked reasons. I also was then struck by the fact that I hadn’t taken a single day off from this channel since I began The Daily Solve more than three years ago (including the times when I was, ostensibly, on actual holiday).
So I am very sorry there wasn’t more warning about this, but I am going to take a (hopefully short) break from posting daily videos. Thank you to my Patreon supporters, whose support has motivated me to continue this much longer than I had originally anticipated. I will pause Patreon billing, which will avoid further charges until I resume.
I really appreciate all of you viewing these videos over the last few years! I’m a bit surprised it has worked at all, but I’m of course very pleased it has.

Hello, solvers! I very much apologise that I haven't yet published today's video. Unfortunately, when I woke up, the New York Times Crossword website was nonfunctional, and it stayed that way for several hours. By the time it returned, I was well into my work day. I will attempt to get a video recorded today but I don't yet know when I will have time to do so. Apologies!
