I was really disappointed with the "Educational Institution Beaver Mascot" New York Times crossword. As someone who loves solving crossword puzzles, I found this one to be lackluster and uninspiring. The clue for the beaver mascot was not clever or challenging, and the other clues in the puzzle were equally dull. I expected more from a respected publication like the New York Times.

I have been solving New York Times crosswords for years, and this one was a major letdown. The inclusion of an educational institution's beaver mascot as a clue was simply too specific and obscure. It didn't have the broad appeal that I usually expect from the New York Times puzzles. Additionally, the overall difficulty level of the crossword was quite low, making it feel like a puzzle for beginners rather than long-time solvers. I hope the New York Times crossword team improves the quality and creativity of their puzzles in the future.
