Mylate mother-in-law, Grace, loved crossword puzzles.
I absolutely believe it helped keep her mind active well into her 80s.
My fastest completion so far is 14 seconds.
That’s only happened a few times.
Here are some tips and tricks for solving The New York Times Mini Crossword.
Example:a recent Mini Crosswordhad two clues that were both “Apple product.”
When you see a repeated clue, open up your mind to all the meanings.
Just always be aware that it’s a guess.
and the answer, of course, was also two words.

Google if you must

There’s no honor code in puzzles, except whatever code you set up for yourself.
