New York Times Crosswords



Warning: Crossword puzzles can be very addicting. It is a healthy habit though! Crosswords are a great way to relax, have fun and feel smart all at the same time. They can seem intimidating at first, but I recommend just giving them a shot. New York Times has the best crosswords by Will Shortz. They get more and more challenging as the week goes on, so start with a Monday puzzle and see how you do. The NY Times puzzles are usually featured in all major newspapers and there is a new one each day. And if you don't get the newspaper, you can do them online here! However, if you're like me and need to do more than one a day (my addiction has become quite serious), they have books of them as well. I own 4 and they are all compiled together by difficulty so you can pick whatever level you want. The answers are also given in the back so if you're stuck you can peek and get a hint. Crosswords are actually a great way to learn facts and words and once you have completed your first puzzle all by yourself, you will get a great feeling of accomplishment!
