It is a very fascinating way to spend the ealry morning coffee with the crossword. in the local. An insprining moment when you crack a difficult one. A sip and ha! another one bites the dust.
However things are not as easy enough. Either I am getting old or the crosswords are getting more difficult. Some of the clues are rank atrocious. The rationale known only to the setter. So I decided I must even the odds a bit. This is where I located three very good helpers. Absolutely marvelous.
