The Saturday puzzles are usually cryptics, some by Cox & Rathvon who were the setters for The Atlantic

Caveat: Some of the older WSJ puzzles require a Java plug-in (v 6.26).
DO NOT click Install because you will wind up with a major headache.
The old versions have security or other problems & can be hell to get rid of.

Plenty of good ones though.

Bumping up because someone asked.

The Search bar doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thanks, Syzzie. I'll have to ferret out the Cox & Rathvon ones (my heroes).
Been having a lot of trouble with this site. Apart from the letter-skipping thing, it keeps shutting down IE or freezing and bringing up a window that says "site not responding". This doesn't happen with any other site.

Others have mentioned this.

As I've suggested, try Firefox or Chrome.
Cleaner landscape & a lot faster. A little background:

Hope the snow has stopped.

I had been using Chrome. It must be coincidental, but I think it was the very day this site appeared in its new form that I couldn't access anything associated with Google; a "Forbidden Site" window keeps appearing. I've tried everything. When I called Google I got a message saying that all inquiries must be submitted online- not much help when the problem is that you can't get onto Google.
It's raining now- slush everywhere. At least there are no ice dams on the eaves. It's in the 40s and feels like one of those depressing March days- but I'll take it. :)

In fact I just clicked on your link and got the Forbidden thing. Is it particularly racy?

Weird, Aristo. I just clicked that link (in Firefox) & no problems.
Certainly not racy. It's an explanation of the inner workings of Chrome done in the style of a "graphic novel".
Not a fan of that form of fiction, but this is non-fiction & quite effective. Perhaps the new wave.

I bought a MIDI controller keyboard last week & the installation instructions were all pictures, only two sentences for Windows. Mac didn't even need that. Kudos to the designer ! If only every device was that easy to install. Had a TV remote that was returned after 2 hours of major pain.

The kind of error msg you got usually means that something has gone wrong with your security settings.
Is it a 403 error? Try accessing with all your browsers.

I'll think about it.
