I do the Spelling Bee in the New York Times, which is a good starter puzzle because it's basically...

jumble.

It's like, you know, finding words, little word search and anagrams.

I do the crossword in the New York Times, which is tough.

The Monday is the easiest, but even the Monday is tough.

It took me like five years to get where I can finish all of the puzzles.

So it is a language that you have to learn.

There's a fun one on the Atlantic

website called Bracket City, which is free.

I recommend that.

There's one called parseword.com, which was created by the guy who created Wordle named Josh Wardle.

And of course, there is Hello Puzzlers.

And we do try to have very accessible puzzles because we know this is part of a lot of people's morning routine.

And yeah, you don't want to frustrate them too much at the beginning of the day.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah, I feel like the crossword puzzles, I have not yet crossed that bridge to like the New York Times crossword puzzle.

I mean, maybe someday, but I have not yet attained to that level.

I'm sure you could.

It's as I say, it's all a language to learn.
