OK, I'll fess up.
I do one at thinks.com (from a Baltimore newspaper) it's an medium to easy one depending on the author.
It has a feature I like - you click the "regular button" and if you get a word or letter wrong it shows up in red .. correct letters show in white in blue box. Or you can do it without clicking the box and you are on your own ... no red hints.
Gets the brain going first thing in the a.m.
If I buy a crossword book for the car - to ease waiting times - I buy the easy ones and if I get stumped I look up the answer in the back.
OK, so I cheat! Big deal. "Sister" isn't looking over my shoulder anymore. They're supposed to be fun!
wow
