The Truth About Crossword Puzzles
Eight-year-old Vivian has spent hours watching her dad do crossword puzzles.
Last week, on day four of being stuck at home with a high fever, she grabbed the puzzle page of the newspaper, did the word search, and wrote on her dad’s beloved puzzle.
I wonder what the “down” clue is for that…

I decided to download a crossword puzzle app just last week. It turned out to be far more difficult than I expected. I don’t normally do crossword puzzles. The controls were frustrating at first. If I selected a cell, it only told me the across hint. I kept looking for a way to switch between across and down. Checking the help, it said NOTHING about how to do that – the most obvious function! Turns out, you just had to press the same cell again. I was expecting a separate control, not a toggle, and I had to find that by experimenting. As someone that documents software for a living, I found this highly frustrating. I did enjoy the puzzle though. I think I’ll do more.
Exactly 🙂
Frustration. And swearing. That’s the point. She’s on to something.
I always rage-quit the crossword puzzles I start. No worries. 🙂
I hate crosswords. My teacher ‘here’s a crossword. Its better than doing vocabulary!!’ No it isnt. They suck.
Pah! That needs to be put on a t-shirt
