Do you like to do Crossword puzzles? I like doing them but I never have the time. If I am going to be on an airplane or a train I will get a crossword book. So how about you, do you do the ones in the paper or by a book to do them, or are you like me and only have time to do them when traveling?

yes I do. I love doing the crossword puzzle. It gives me some sort of fulfillment when I am able to answer them
It is one of my favorite thing to do when I have extra leisure time.
Happy Mylotting.

I like doing crossword puzzles, but I am like you. I don't have the time to just sit and work on them. I only do crossword puzzles when we are traveling. My husband and I work on them together in the car on our long trips. It gives us something to do to pass the time.

I used to love doing crossword puzzles, and still enjoy them when I take the time to do them. I felt I did so many growing up and as an adult that that is where most of my knowledge came from!
Now I am into sodoku instead.

I buy the crossword books if I want 2 do them. When I was little I was obsessed with Crossword puzzles n did them all the time. I only do them like If I have to stay in the hospital over night ill buy a book of em and do em there. Also for traveling and I have some books at home of crossword puzzles to do if i am bored and nothing else going on. They just help to pass the time.

I like doing them, but I never have the time to do them. If I am traveling I will usually pick up a crossword book for the trip. If my husband is driving I will read the clues to him and we will do them together. I like the challenge a lot, but in everyday life there is just no time.

I love crossword puzzles. I was influenced by my mother who also answers crossword puzzles all the time. Whether it is in the newspaper or the one book-type ones. I have a book of crossword puzzles but I seldom answer it because I was so busy from work before. Now that I am back to school, still I have no time. But when I am just at home and having all the time in the world, I do answer my crossword puzzle book while watching TV .

You know I have never been able to get into doing crosswords. It seems like I hardly ever get the solutions. I love doing word searches though. I am glad that you like doing them...I wish that I did.

I love crossword puzzles but never able to complete it, even for more than 3 words. I find it very difficult due to my poor vocabularies. I ever tried to solve the puzzle with a dictionary on hand. Finally, I give up on this crossword puzzles. Time is really a issue but the main issue is the level of difficulty.

I like doing crosswords but don't do them that often. I don't like the really easy, coffee time ones, but I like general knowledge and cryptic ones, anagrams etc. I sometimes buy crossword books, but I also like doing the ones in the newspapers, whenever I get the newspapers.

Yep, I like them a lot! I only do normal ones though because I get appropriately stumped when I do the Saturday Stumper. I only do the ones on the newspaper, but I don't do them everyday. I used to do them a lot while I hung out at our family's business, but that was when I was not doing any real work and was just getting bored. I do try to do them once in a while nowadays, but I do real work now LOL!
