About Lester Ruff

Lester Ruff has contributed 10 puzzles to the Newsday Crossword that we’ve indexed on this site. Each puzzle is solved and verified by hand and published with the complete grid, every across and down clue, and per-clue letter analysis.

The Newsday Crossword is published daily by Newsday on Long Island and edited by Stan Newman. Constructors submit puzzles to the Newsday editorial team, where they’re polished and slotted into the daily publication schedule. Difficulty across the week ranges from a gentle Monday to the legendary themeless Saturday Stumper, with Sunday returning to a themed 21×21 grid.
