Yes, I confess I'm addicted to crossword puzzles .  I actually subscribe to a magazine because I like their puzzles. I don't like doing them online, I've tried , but it's just not the same as paper and pen ( erasable ink ).  I like to order the books of NYT Sunday crosswords, they are my favorite. Are there any other crossword addicts here , and if so what are your favorites ?

Part of my daily routine used to be completing the crossword in the newspaper.  When I discontinued the newspaper I no longer did crosswords.

 

The are a great, fun way to keep your mind sharp.

I subscribe to the NYT online and do their mini, crossword, spelling bee, wordle and letter box just about everyday.  I'll also occasionally do the crosswords in the Chicago Tribune that I also subscribe to online.  Doesn't bother me that I don't use pen and paper.

I still subscribe to the newspaper, so I do the crossword puzzle most days.  While I enjoy crossword puzzles, I'm more addicted to doing jigsaw puzzles on line.  JigsawsGalore is the source I use.

I do too and am addicted to spelling bee! I’m determined to get to queen bee without the hints!

I like doing crosswords but in a book so I can work and put it down and pick it up for a glance.

 

I am addicted to solitaire on line.  As a latchkey kid, the cat and I used to play sitting on the bed.  When the cat got frustrated, he'd swipe the cards off the bed with his tail.  

 

Enjoyed watching me pick them up I guess.

@Franklinbell , Look on Amazon, they have many puzzle books. Try the New York Magazine Crossword Puzzle Omnibus.
