Do you do crosswords puzzles?

[ChiroDoc]

Yes, I've been doing crosswords puzzles for yrs,keeps my mind sharp
I've been doing the daily NYT crossword puzzle since the late 70's, usually can finish Mon&Tues,once in awhile will get Weds

I think that's the big benefit. When one is searching one's mind for a word, it's good mental exercise, which keeps the mind from addling. Staring at the boob tube or other screens occupies the emotions, but not the brain's left hemisphere (analytic and reasoning).

Sudoku is okay, but often it makes me want to smoke and drink. Darn it! I bet I'd get the correct answer a lot faster that way!

I was just telling my granddaughter a couple of days ago that I don't do Sudoku because it makes me crazy. She couldn't believe it. She and her mother, my Honorary Daughter, are great at it. I even bought her a Sudoku book and she has many more in her collection. I get confused as to why my obviously correct answers are wrong! So I feel ya WheatenLover.

I guess the wires are crossed in my brain. I've never figured out how to do it. I guess I'm just not good with numbers.

Don't feel bad TeePee. I'm pretty good with numbers, plus they instructed me on how to do Sudoku and I still couldn't do it right.

Never!
But to redeem my family, my mother used to do the NYT crosswords in ink!
Crossword puzzles irritate me.

Before I got up on a Sunday my mom would do the puzzle from my NY Times in ink ON GRAPH PAPER! She was good!

 

[RadishRose]

I did, for many years. The daily paper was easy, the Sunday Courant was a challenge, I solved the NY Times, only once.

Looks like I'm in good company.
