complete a New York Times Crossword Puzzle

Since I don’t get the Times, I’ve been working on crosswords out of “Cup of Crosswords” which has a mix of easy and medium puzzles. Two days ago I actually finished one without looking up anything. Keep at it – finishing a puzzle is oddly satisfying.

I decided to get more serious about this goal so I was doing these puzzles every day again. I hope I can move to Tuesday puzzles soon.

I finished a Monday puzzle without checking for wrong letters at all, but I filled in one letter wrong. I still don’t consider this goal done, but I’m getting better. I hope to accomplish this soon!

I do the online versions, and I can finish the mondays without looking anything up, however, it does tell you if you put in the wrong answer so I still don’t consider this goal finished.

My dad and I do the crossword in our local paper every day and we always finish it. I have finished other crosswords by myself, but the NYT crossword is the ultimate. If I can finish that, I know I’m smart haha
