I completed one last Friday (Feb 25th). I work them all the time, but I usually get stuck on an author's name and the ancient god pie-making. I am always missing one vowel, and I would have to guess. So I generally leave them 99% complete.

On numerous occasions. Quick crosswords are easier than cryptic ones - but I'm slowly learning!

Fairly frequently. Although less now that I don't get the Sunday paper.

Yes, I do two crosswords everyday. 1 quick and 1 cryptic.

Yeah, I often complete them. But it tends to be the one in the local newspaper rather than The Times!

Yes, many times. I tend to prefer other types of pencil puzzles and word games, though.

I do crosswords from time to time, but I prefer search-a-word puzzles.

no, i've started a few, but never stick with it for very long; I get bored.

I've completed them when I've tried. I'm not very interested in them.

Sometimes. Usually in people magazine or something.

I do easy ones. I suck at the hard ones. I picked up a book of crosswords while traveling. It was New York Times crossword puzzles. I got the easiest, Monday's. ...and, I still had trouble completing them. Though, they are fun.

Only the easy ones in the magazine that comes with the Sunday tabloids.

I was well proud, I did two in one day the other day. Pretty exciting.

Yes, I usually need my dad's help though. He is a crossword genius.

I came close once, but I only tried that one time. I really do tend to believe that I have better things to do with my time. btw: Its not for geeks, cause those better things usually tend to be even more geekier than that. btw: does anybody know where I can find coldata0.dll by any chance?

Almost always. Not that I do them very often...

I use to do pretty good on the TV Guide ones. My problem with crosswords are all the obscure words they use to fill in the spaces. I think word games are wonderful, just wish I had a bigger vocabulary off the tip of my pencil.
