Do you like to do crossword puzzles?

[loves2learn]

I try to do at least a daily puzzle. It’s a nice way to take a break from work and I feel like it keeps my mind fresh.

The answer to the last one was “otter.” 🥰

For a while, I was always getting the Games "Pencilwize" magazines because I liked a lot of the puzzles they had in there. Much more challenging than a simple crossword. But, now that I'm back online and have a ton of other shit to do, I just don't bother with it anymore. I stated up again a year ago and would do a few puzzles a night while watching a few new shows I liked to watch but, we couldn't afford the t. v. bill anymore so, just never got back into the puzzles.
I think it's called Games world Of Puzzles now. There's a lot of very interesting variations on the crossword in there! One of my faves is the spiral. The answers go from the outside in and the inside out and both ways use the exact same letters but in reverse order from the other direction. Another is the Cube. The puzzle is laid out like it's on 3 faces of a cube so, it's like doing the puzzle 3 ways instead of just across and down. Pencil Pointers is pretty cool, too! The clues are IN the puzzle!

[Apraxia]

When given opportunities to yes, I will sit for hours doing puzzles: whether it’s jigsaws, sudoku, crosswords.

Now am I good at them probably not, but I’m stubborn enough to not quit until I’m done.

[loves2learn]

Perseverance is an excellent virtue. Doesn’t come naturally to my kids…

[AmandaYVR]

I sort of like them but I'm pretty bad at them. I never complete any out of newspapers. So it's pretty unsatisfying. I find those ones too difficult.
I'm good at word scrambles and word searches though. I can do those really quickly for some reason. I prefer those.

[loves2learn]

I prefer word scrambles too

[Tstrbrainer]

This is brilliant, probably this girl went anonymous to keep her intelligence a secret

[Julie_TS]

It looked much better before hitting submit... It was all laid out tonlook just like a crossword puzzle, appreciate the like!!!

[Julie_TS]

@Tstrbrainer LOL, no, I only went anon after hitting submit & it jumbled it all together and I thought it looked not so good.
by the way, decided to remove the anon, thanks for the like!!!

[Tstrbrainer]

It's really creative and you dedicated your time. Something I would never even bother, so that's great

[Julie_TS]

Hopefully it worked this time
*fingers crossed*

[Julie_TS]

And... ofc, it did not, lol... I'm done :(

[Tstrbrainer]

And you missed the 'n', but hey I like it. Cheered me up

[Julie_TS]

@Tstrbrainer Actually, I was trying to user the 'n' in your user name.
I used the 'period' on each separate line to position each letter (t, h, a, k, s) vertically over the 'n' in your user name. Like a crossword, but for whatever reason didn't keep them in place. *sighs* lol

[loves2learn]

I appreciate all your effort @Julie_TS!

Well deserved!

[Julie_TS]

@loves2learn I'm going to stop trying to make it work, this app just will not allow it, lol

[Tstrbrainer]

This app really needs to be more advanced lol

[Tstrbrainer]

Good work Julie

[Lliam]

I kinda do, yes. I don't do them very often, though. About the only time I do them is when I'm in a waiting room and find one in a magazine, or when I'm getting my hair cut.
My wife is a hair stylist. So I go to her salon to get my hair cut every once in a while. They usually have a People Magazine there. LOL

[loves2learn]

Hahahaha! No home cuts for you?

[Lliam]

Nah, it's much better at the salon in the swivel chair in front of the mirror with proper lighting.
Also, my wife actually rents an entire room at the salon. So she has it decorated and can play whatever music she wants. It's nice.
I pay her later. 😎😂

[loves2learn]

That sounds lovely. I bet you do! 😂

[AviatorTom]

There are two crossword style games in my daily ritual of playing logic games on my tablet. Plus, I often do the puzzle that my online news feed gives me.

My father got me started on crossword puzzles many years ago. We used to do them together, back when the crossword was on the page opposite the comics in my home town newspaper.

[docster]

This past summer I started doing the 15x15 grid crosswords in my local weekend paper. I had to stop after 3 months because it was wearing my brain out and causing me to lose sleep.

[loves2learn]

Oh no!

[DizzyDesii]

Hate crosswords but love letterblox (scrambled letters) and wordsearch puzzles. Its an old hobby i need to get back into

[loves2learn]

I am a scrambled letters lady myself.

[Anonymous]

Kind of, not so much crosswords but i do like quizzes even though i suck at them.

It is of course only easy if you know the answer and I seem to know things many people dont know but also dont know things that most people do know.

When playing university challenge to stay competitive i give myself a point if i understand the question ;)

[MrPickles13]

Yeah I do, I also like logic puzzles and things like that. Keeps the mind sharp and well it's fun. I'm not always great at corsswords just due to the knowledge base. Like some aren't easy like names of artworks and things like that.

[loves2learn]

I like logic puzzles too. You don’t have to do crosswords with weird questions. The ones I like to do involve unscrambling the letters.

[MrPickles13]

Yeah that's true the unscrambling are good. I quite like those with the questions as I can learn more and I quite like learning just wish I could remember most. of it

[TrueConfection]

Yes, but I like the ones that give you a clue to solve like the kind found in magazines and news papers. I have the Redstone crossword app and several books. I know, I'm a nerdy old lady. Sometimes my husband or kids join in and that's fun too.

[DonkeyDan]

I quite like them. You could also have retort or rotter.

[loves2learn]

I got extra points for those. 🥰

[loves2learn]

Actually retort was on the bottom. I also got rote and a few others.

[loves2learn]

Wait, rote was in there too. Lemme think. 😂

[DonkeyDan]

And retro

[loves2learn]

Toter and torre maybe? In addition to rotter.

[loves2learn]

Retro is in there too. 😅

[DonkeyDan]

Torte rotte toter, there's a load more in sure.

[loves2learn]

Yup! I got torte too

[AydenHazor]

Word games like this one I enjoy, but I'm not much of one for traditional crossword puzzles with clues

[loves2learn]

Same!

[kyleelyn199723]

I’m more of a word search kind of person lol I swear I’m going to buy a book for myself for when I get bored lol

[DaveToo]

Nope, actually, it also was retort.

But yeah, I do Words With Friends on Facebook.

[loves2learn]

I mean the top one I hadn’t gotten yet 😂 the last unsolved word if you will.

[DaveToo]

otter would work.

[loves2learn]

That was it!

[Andres77]

I feel like someone is hidden and laughing at me...

[loves2learn]

Why? 😂

[Andres77]

Just when I get frustrated, even if I'm alone I feel like someone is laughing at me

[loves2learn]

Awwwww. It is good to practice perseverance and overcoming obstacles.

[Apple1996]

Only crossword puzzles I do are lotto scratch ticket cashwords and yes I like those but only cause I like to gamble 😆

[Anonymous]

No, they're so hard and some of the clues make no sense. Like how the hell is "Portuguese capital" PEE?

[loves2learn]

You don’t have to do ones with weird questions. The ones I like to do involve unscrambling the letters.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not familiar with those.
I prefer word searches

[CrazyGirl2]

Not really. I used to, but I’ve fallen out of favor w/ them recently!

[Anpu23]

No, I've struggled with spelling my entire life. I do Sudoku, and other logic problems but word puzzles are just a lesson in frustration.

[Cherry234]

I don’t do a lot of crossword puzzles but I do like doing them. I’ve been getting into sudoku lately

[Sowanaski]

I am more of a riddle guy than a crossword puzzle guy.

[OlderAndWiser]

I play Websudoku and Solitaire on a daily basis to exercise my brain.

[silkjames]

Yes I always still do it on my breaks at work and on my train to work and on train ride back home from work fun fun:)!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would like to do crossword puzzles but they make me sleepy and I end up falling asleep

[exitseven]

I do them sometimes/. I have been doing jigsaw puzzles lately as well.

[Dnice1]

They can be fun but I'm more of a word search person

[worldscolide]

Me? No, my wife, oh hell yes. I bought a huge supply of those Dell puzzle books for her.

[Rudon00]

Im very fond of Sudoku. it help build my mental capacity for the job I do.

Logistic management

[Wiredone]

I like word search or wooduko. I was never a fan of crossword games

[Wise4myage]

No, I suck at it, but I do like word games like Unscramble Anagram.

[Mangospacho]

Oh yeah. Any kind of puzzle keeps my mind fresh too.

[humanearth]

No they piss me off. They make me feel like a dummy

[loves2learn]

Awwww. You aren’t a dummy. Maybe word scrambles or word finds are more your style.

[humanearth]

I like crosswords as long as I know the answers

[loves2learn]

Lol! Well some challenge is good for the mind. 😂

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I kind of already make my own “puzzles” (Robonians)

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I’d say they’re just as hard if not harder

[NightOwl8801]

Not really into crosswords , more into word searches

[Tstrbrainer]

Like em, but not that crazy.
I can never get the newspaper ones, too advanced for me

[Dat-Alpha-Lion]

Crosswords see great on the plane. And when I don’t have my 3DS with me lol.

[Massageman]

or use them all for ROTTER-

[loves2learn]

I got extra points for that!

[TheBigGuy9]

I like to do complicated math problems in my head

[loves2learn]

Sweet. Like what?

[TheBigGuy9]

Figuring out your yearly salary, minus taxes. A close person of mine makes $42.31 an hour with 15 hours of overtime a week.

[loves2learn]

Nice. You gotta know their tax bracket and withholdings. Lol

[TheBigGuy9]

Yup, I figure that in too with OT and all. I like long complicated problems.

[Nigjt]

No I do not.
God Bless

[loves2learn]

😂😂😂😂 thanks

[Nigjt]

Any time.
God Bless

[pickedcrisps]

I hate puzzles. I'm a simpleton 😋

[krin_m]

I do the NY times daily crossword puzzle.

[loves2learn]

Damn! That takes talent.

[krin_m]

If you do it enough times, you get the knack.
But, to be perfectly clear, I am not always able to solve it completely, especially the Friday puzzles because they start out easy on Monday and get gradually difficult throughout the week.

[JennBITx]

I do. It helps me keep my mind sharp

[beebella]

No, but I do like doing word searches. 🤓

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I get bored with stuff like that.

[JakeS00]

I don’t do them daily but I’ll play them.

[loveslongnails]

I'm terrible at them !!

[Charliefretz329]

I don’t have the time lol. I used to try… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Cowboy6666]

i used to play all time but not nowadays

[whosnumber1]

nope, no crosswords for me

[varan69]

Mahjong

[loves2learn]

I like mahjong too!

[varan69]

[loves2learn]

Sweet! I have a version I play on my phone too.

[varan69]

[loves2learn]

Mahjong solitaire: classic

[Willoughby23]

[Shamiah02]

[CubaPirate]

I used to do one every lunchtime at work

[loves2learn]

Why did you stop?

[CubaPirate]

I changed jobs and no longer have the opportunity

[Nightroads]

Love them.

[DavidB1973]

Scrabble is good

[loves2learn]

I like scrabble too! And banana grams.
