Tribune Media Service (TMS) has replaced the TMS Daily puzzle with LA Times Daily Crossword edited by Rich Norris starting March 23, 2008. The puzzle is printable from their website if you prefer solving on paper.
The puzzle is also available at Cruciverb.com in Across Lite format. You can download free Across Lite from NY Time's website.
The L.A. Times crossword appears in nearly 700 daily and Sunday newspapers in the U.S., India, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Taiwan.
On a scale of 1-5, the level of difficulty for our Monday and Tuesday puzzle is 1, Wednesday is 2, Thursday and Friday 3, Saturday 4 and Sunday 3.
Updated on Sept 24, 2009: DIFFICULTY of daily puzzles can range from easy to moderate. In terms of The New York Times puzzle, that means no harder than Wednesday. Difficulty level of clues and fill for Saturday themeless should be similar to NYT Wednesday/Thursday. Sunday puzzles should be of moderate difficulty, similar to Tues/Weds NYT.

1) American Mensa (Ads free). Relatively stable. One glitch in the 2 times I tested.
2) Web Crossword. Not very reliable. Sometimes no new puzzles there.
