Are the people with streaks in the 100s actually finishing every puzzle unassisted?
For what it’s worth, I don’t care at all if someone is googling answers to keep their gold streak alive. It has no impact on me and I’m happy they’re enjoying the hobby.
I’m curious though, are these people really NEVER stumped by a cross requiring two pieces of trivia that they have no way of knowing? Or have they just gotten so good that they’re able to work it out no matter what?
It seems inconceivable to me that these folks can go years without getting screwed over even once by bad cluing or an incomprehensible theme.

I feel check word or puzzle seems like cheating, no?
Hi all,
New to crossword space to help with my aging brain ( hoping it is not as bad as my body ) so I started to play crosswords.
I downloaded some apps, most have literal ‘reveal’ buttons where I directly move to a new game but I am in between about ‘check’.
Am I being too perfectionist? Or am I too naive/beginner to think like this?

A request for the mods - when the stickied post is updated for the next day's puzzle, can we leave the previous one stickied below it?
Example, right now, it's only 6pm on the east coast (so only 3 pm in other parts of the country) and the current days puzzle thread is already gone from the sub in place of tomorrow's. Now I'm aware this is a very minor gripe, but I find it mildly annoying to have to go to the shortzbot's profile to find today's thread. Reddit allows for two stickied posts, can we just leave both of them up?
