I do okay at Scrabble, particularly when we don't keep score--I just like to play to see if we can use all the letters. But, like you, Faldage, I am good at scrambled words; in fact, if there are two days in a row that at least one of the Jumble words doesn't leap out at me, I start to get worried.
I made a cryptic crossword one time (hi, you! ) and you're right, Alex--it's really hard.
