I did do crosswords, for a while, until I entered the work-force full-time, but now rarely, if ever, find the stamina to complete one. Practice does make perfect, though, so if I did do them more regularly, I would perhaps enjoy doing them more.
I explored free crossword puzzle sources last year to see if I could convert any to ebook formats for upload here. I was amazed that practically all free crosswords are also copyrighted with no clear redistribution right. Even though the NYT crossword samples are free, they are only for personal use and that precludes them from being uploaded to a public forum (as I found out
).
Do you have any source of non-copyrighted free puzzles?
If you haven't already done so, check out my post,
The New York Times: Free sample Crosswords. v1. 19 May 2008 for a simple HOW-TO.
