Re: Crosswords

I go through phases of doing crosswords.
But I love doing logic puzzles, and recently came across this site for them:

Re: Crosswords

I like doing On-Line Sudoku's, without the help of the pencil or the hints. I could not work out how such a high percentage were completing them faster than me, then it clicked, when there is a simple choice of two possible numbers the buggers must just take a 50/50 shot, and continue the game, if they made the right choice they will have a mega quick time, if they made the wrong choice, they "undo" their entries back to that point, and substitute the other number, Grrrrr.

I've tried to do logic puzzles, Jackie but am absolutely hopeless at them ...... I can maybe put one answer in and then I'm completely confused by the rest!

Re: Crosswords

I was stumped by them at first, but if you just follow the clues, and mark them in the grid as you go, it really isn't that baffling!
Honest - try with an easy one and a small grid first.

Another favourite online game is 8 letters in search of a word

Re: Crosswords

Used to love cryptic crosswords and when I had access to papers I did the Telegraph one frequently. Not done them for years now, though, as I only ever get a Saturday paper and never seem to have the time to read it AND do the crossword. I do love soduko, though, and do one online every day. Quite like codewords, too.
Just going to have a look at the logic puzzles as I haven't tried them before.
