... A puzzle consisting of a grid of squares and blanks into which words crossing vertically and horizontally are written according to clues ...
OK. i am becoming obsessed with crossword puzzles. Especially since I've gotten into them on my iPad. I used to muddle through the Rocky Mountain News puzzle at work ( when there used to be a paper ) but now , with the iPad, the USA today app and about a 100 other apps, you can do them until you become cross-eyed.
I've gotten the USA puzzle down to about 15-20 minutes now and think it's time to graduate to the next difficulty level ... not quite the NYT ( that's one for the pro's ) but maybe one of the East Coast papers .... there's a sense of accomplishment when you finish and the little "congratulations" banner pops up. Plus, it's a great way to spend a Sunday morning; coffee , NPR and a crossword puzzle.
