[fourteenandoh]

we have races at work to see who can do the daily sudoku the fastest. some of those things are damn near impossible.

Hard to pick one... I guess I have to go with the CryptoQuote, though I love crossword puzzles, too.

Sudokus and Jumbles are okay.

Word searches suck.

 

[bucks4me]

I have never played CrytoQuote but I like the rest of them. I love doing Word searches. When I was in school we used to race to see who could do these the fastest.

Sudoku. My favorite is the Baseball Sudoku in ESPN The Mag, where they've replaced 1-9 with the 9 positions on a baseball field.

Just sayin': The New York Times has a list of puzzles that you can do online (for free); several are kind of different too

Spelling Bee
Connections
Strands
Letter boxed
Tiles
Wordle

Connections and strands are pretty hard to get too.

They also have a mini crossword puzzle and Sudoku

Anybody else do any of these puzzles?

I don't do Spelling Bee since it required a sub after a certain number of words but I enjoy most of the others. I stopped doing Tiles once they started repeating the same tiles -- that got monotonous.

There is also a sports version of Connections, too -- I enjoy that one. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/connections-sports-edition

Can you guys help me with this one?

I’ve been racking my brain for hours. It gave me a clue, something about vowels but I ain’t any good at English.

Yeah, I just do spelling bee up to the "sub" limit.

I usually do them on a cell phone, the smaller screen makes tiles a lot harder.

I sometimes I have to use a couple help sites:
a) wordle: https://word.tips/wordle/
b) strands: https://wordunscrambler.me/

Hey, that sports version of connections is cool.....
