Recently, Karis and I have been doing a lot of crossword puzzles. I've always been intimidated by crosswords, I don't know a lot of pop culture, names of actor/actresses, or names of historic people and places. And you have to learn how to do a crossword puzzle, you have learn how to think like a crossword puzzler.
So, Karis and I have been starting off easy, we did a few Monday puzzles, then Tuesdays and now we're on our set of Wednesdays (since we mainly do NYT puzzles).
Interestingly, there are a few words that seem to be favorites of crossword makers: lei, tael, and sri (as a few examples).
I suppose Karis and I are now learning crosswordese.
For anyone who wants to begin puzzling, a good (I think), free, not too difficult (usually) crossword is the USA Today Daily Crossword - they also offer Sudoku and other puzzles.
