Donny, that is why I prefer cryptics. they keep the little grey cells working.

[Tilly2]

Just joshing, Ozzy.

[donny48]

It is the process of working out the answer, or having the answer then making the parsing, that to me is the enjoyment. Upon retirement I found I needed a task for my little grey cells too.

Hee hee Tilly.

Me too Danny, if you don't know the answer in a cryptic at least the clue is directing you to the answer.

Only problem is how cryptic the setter is.

[Tilly2]

I have some little Braintraining books. I try to do one of the puzzles every day.
The only ones I avoid are the Sudoku ones. I don't like those.

[1ozzy]

I do Sudokus Tilly, quite enjoy them.....but.....Mrs Oz absolutely kills the ones I can't do.

Might stick to crosswords in future.

[Tilly2]

I just don't have the knack of doing them, Ozzy.

[1ozzy]

Process of elimination Tilly.

That's where I make a mess of them.

[Tilly2]

...and me. Grrrr!

[dannyk13]

Had a go at sudokus but I found them a bit boring.

[1ozzy]

Try some harder ones Danny.

[Tilly2]

I don't like wordsearches either.

[dannyk13]

It wasn't that they were easy just that I found the format boring.I suppose I just like working with words rather than numbers.

[1ozzy]

I prefer words over numbers Danny.

But, if I'm bored enough then any puzzle will occupy my mind.
