I no longer get Cricket, but when I did, I loved it.

I personally find them easy... not to brag... I hope.  Reading trough old TM posts it looks like they're really popular and a number of people find them hard.  I don't usually do them.

I am a huge puzzle fan in general (<3 sudoku), so I love the Crossbird puzzles.  The really tricky ones I can't get by figuring out the words that cross over it, I just look up in the back, though.  I'm too lazy to spend a lot of time figuring it out. XD

Analesia, I too love sudoku.

Oregano, the puzzles ARE pretty easy (usually). But I do them anyway.

Has anyone noticed that the "abreviations" sometimes aren't even real abreviations, just the first part of the word?

 

Actually, we check the abbreviations in the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, but there may be other forms with which people are more familiar.

I like the Crossbird puzzles! I have a lot that I didn't do, but I do enjoy doing them. I do them with my mom when I don't know the answer to one of them, and that way it's fun and you don't cheat! Wink

I love the crossword puzzle too (since last week). One of things I don't like is that some of the questions are about the United States. I know it makes sense cause Cricket is printed in the states. Well I know some of it but.....

lol for those qs I just ask my mom/dad Cool
