Why is it that only Nintendo seems capable of designing a good, clean casual game interface? The NYT puzzle uses earth colors everywhere and looks muddy as anything -- a crossword puzzle is supposed to be black-on-white, not off-white on muted orange!

The NY Times game is pretty hardcore and already has 1000 puzzles in it. I'm not sure about the USA Today game, but how many crosswords do we need? Although the NY Times game is really making me feel unintelligent. The puzzles are harder by far than the ones that grace my local daily paper. Maybe a kinder, friendlier Nintendo Crosswords would be fun. I think their time is better spent elsewhere. The NY Times game is pretty hardcore and already has 1000 puzzles in it.
