Default Daily Sun New Smaller Format

I'm finding the puzzle section of the new sizing format for the Daily Sun to be too small. In particular the Word Warp and Celebrity Cypher offerings. Hard to read and little room to write in solution.

Any thoughts on how to influence the paper to make it larger or where to buy a good magnifying glass.

If you have a computer and printer/scanner, cut it out, scan it, enlarge it, and print it.

Dam, might have to get some cheaters with stronger magnification. Us old folks need bigger print, not smaller.

Can’t comment on the puzzle section, but overall I like the new format. Also I think the paper stock is a little brighter, smoother and more opaque, which to me are all good.

the sheets of paper are getting so thin that on occasion I have difficulty separating the pages

I don't mind the smaller print, but why did they remove the number deaths from Covid 19 by county?

I too like the change, it just looks cleaner and neater, easier to read.
