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!

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.
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.

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. LOLThere 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.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.
Hate crosswords but love letterblox (scrambled letters) and wordsearch puzzles. Its an old hobby i need to get back into
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 ;)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.
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.
I quite like them. You could also have retort or rotter.
Word games like this one I enjoy, but I'm not much of one for traditional crossword puzzles with clues
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
Nope, actually, it also was retort.
But yeah, I do Words With Friends on Facebook.I feel like someone is hidden and laughing at me...
Only crossword puzzles I do are lotto scratch ticket cashwords and yes I like those but only cause I like to gamble 😆
Not really. I used to, but I’ve fallen out of favor w/ them recently!
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.
I am more of a riddle guy than a crossword puzzle guy.

I play Websudoku and Solitaire on a daily basis to exercise my brain.
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:)!
No, they're so hard and some of the clues make no sense. Like how the hell is "Portuguese capital" PEE?
I don’t do a lot of crossword puzzles but I do like doing them. I’ve been getting into sudoku lately
