Solution to Evan Birnholz's July 20 crossword, ‘Going Through the Motions'
I have a couple of updates to share for online solvers. First, the product team has turned down the color on the main crossword and the daily mini meta to address some concerns with readability. The clue list now has a white background, so you may be able to read that a little better. Second, they'll soon be experimenting with an optional mode that decreases the color on the page more dramatically. They're asking users for feedback on a couple of options via Amy Parlapiano's Game Break newsletter. It's free to sign up for that newsletter, and that's where you can vote on different designs for the solving page.

Solution to Evan Birnholz's July 13 crossword, ‘Archvillains'
I have to give a blanket response to readers who wrote comments in last week's blog expressing frustration with the recent changes in the online puzzle. Just as I said then, I don't have definitive answers for you about when they'll be implementing further changes because I don't know the answers myself. That said, I can tell you that the product team has received your feedback and they're continuing to work on issues related to printing and readability and that once I'm able to give you more concrete information about specific updates, I will share them as soon as I can.
