The duluth news tribune. From the quaint port city of Duluth Minnesota. Hope I win!!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:31 am
La Settimana Enigmistica! I’m not American
May 10th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Definitely the NY Times. I got hooked on crosswords during boring college lectures. A talent for word puzzles may be the most valuable skill I took away from engineering school.
May 10th, 2009 at 8:36 am
ny times is my wife’s most enjoyable.
May 10th, 2009 at 8:38 am
I’m a sucker for the NYT puzzle as well. Can’t beat it!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:43 am
WSJ for me!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:46 am
The Straits Time. (Not an American too!) I’m a Crossword Puzzle maniac. Love it. And will love to have one(or more) in my iPhone!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:48 am
USA today because it’s easy and I can actually finish it!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:53 am
USA Today or NYTimes, but the Times ones take me forever to complete.
May 10th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Definitely the NYT puzzle, although I have bought crossword puzzle books to satisfy my cravings from time to time. An iPhone app to do the same would be awesome!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:56 am
The Dallas Morninf News
some good crosswords on the newspaper
May 10th, 2009 at 8:59 am
The NY Times, without a doubt. I’m always very ambitious and attempt to get through the whole puzzle, without crossing out, using ink… never successful. It’d be nice to have a great quality crossword game for the iPhone, and it would save my fingers from all the ink smudges.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:01 am
USA today is my favorite
May 10th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I like Times.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Love the NYT, WSJ and the Chicago Tribune.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:10 am
NY Times crossword is and always will be the best. Thanks!
May 10th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Chicago Tribune is the one for me.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:18 am
There is no other but the NY Times, edited by the brilliant Will Shortz.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:21 am

May 10th, 2009 at 9:39 am
New York Times
May 10th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Nothing beats the crosswords in The Times.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:48 am
The Times crosswords are definitely good. But I prefer the book that sits on my nightstand for use every evening before bed – nothing like tiring out the brain a bit before nodding off to sleep!
May 10th, 2009 at 9:52 am
USA today because it’s the only one my brain can match…
May 10th, 2009 at 9:52 am
New York Times. Tuesday or Wedensday.
May 10th, 2009 at 9:58 am
ny times
May 10th, 2009 at 10:08 am
I like those books that have like 50 in the since we dont hae any good ones in our local paper.
May 10th, 2009 at 10:09 am
NYT crosswords for sure
May 10th, 2009 at 10:10 am
The NYTimes gets my vote, although I often use the help of Safari!
Bob
May 10th, 2009 at 10:10 am
Definitely the NYT. The difficulty rises from Monday through Sunday.
May 10th, 2009 at 10:15 am
USA Today and Chicago Tribune
May 10th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Love all of your Birthday bash excitement. I use the L.A. Times & the S.F. Chronicle for my crossword needs.
May 10th, 2009 at 10:21 am
United Media, published in the DMN. Grew up with it and love to play it anytime I’m in the DFW area.
May 10th, 2009 at 10:21 am
USA Today for sure… NYT from time to time… fingers crossed!
May 10th, 2009 at 10:32 am
NYT. Make sure you block out some time though!
May 10th, 2009 at 10:32 am
NYTimes is the one.
May 10th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Tv guides crossword
May 10th, 2009 at 10:46 am
No love for Sudoku?! If I had to take a pick of crosswords puzzles it would be “The Evening Sun” Norwich NY’s only newspaper.
May 10th, 2009 at 10:56 am
It has to be the Daily Telegraph for us Brits. Its a classic daily brain teaser.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:00 am
The Yated based out of ny.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I personally like the crossword in the Oregonian. I live in Oregon obviously.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Any. I love sitting with family, friends and coffee trying to figure out the clues. Trying to work up to “Wordplay” status.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:16 am
New York Times. Classic
May 10th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Crossword books so I can finish one and continue with a new one.

May 10th, 2009 at 11:28 am
NY Times for a challenge; USA Today for an easier one.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:30 am
NY Times of course.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Love the NY Times puzzles.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Definitely the NY Times!
May 10th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I like USA today.
May 10th, 2009 at 11:45 am
NY Times – but, only because it makes me look smart. It’s harder than Chinese calculus.
May 10th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I like the cheap crossword books the best! You know, the kind you can get from bookstores or local hobby places. A whole book is always better than 1 a week in a paper!
May 10th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
im more of a local news crosswords guy, over here in puerto rico we got bilingual ones which are rather easy at times i mean you got 2 languages to choose from en El Nuevo dia newspaper jejejej
May 10th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
I played some crossword puzzle on the DS and it was pretty fun.

USA Today and the NY Times. I enjoy both most every day.
May 10th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
My crossword is the NY Times crossword. Well, the Monday and Tuesday ones. After that, well, Sudoku time!
May 10th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
The Sacramento Bee has 2, a generic, syndicated puzzle, and the New York Times. I do them both.

New York Times
May 10th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I love doing the crossword puzzle in the boston globe, or my local newspaper, the standard times. My friends make fun of me all the time for bringing them around with me all day, trying to figure them out all day. I would love to have them on my phone.
May 10th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
USA Today
May 10th, 2009 at 4:07 pm

USA Today as I can usually finish it.
May 10th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Switched 2 years ago from German to English/US crosswords. Learned about degree of difficulty from Monday to W/E puzzles. Worked our (incl. wife) way through MO, TU and WE books by Peter Gordon, NY Sun. Next: Killer Thursday Book.
May 10th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
UW The Daily

Definitely the NY Times
May 10th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I’m not proud of it, but I like to do UClick’s Universal Crossword. I usually access it through the San Jose Mercury News web site.
May 10th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
I don’t do crosswords, but if I did it would be the NY Times!
May 10th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
