Non-trivial Crosswords

Sundays are always free

I’m Sarah. I have three boys who are too smart for their own good, and I wanted to share real crosswords with them: a pencil, a little spite, a grid that requires some sweat. Non-trivial means there’s no obscure trivia in them. My boys might find out who Brian Eno and Yoko Ono are someday, but they won’t need to know to solve these puzzles.

The one with the camp wake-up horn

October 11, 2026

There is a brass horn in this Sunday grid whose entire job is to get people out of bed, which I have never considered a kindness. I have more sympathy for the big string instrument you have to hold between your knees, because at least that one waits until you are already awake. This is the large, unhurried kind of Sunday. Take the long way through it.
