I'm hopeless at 'em. My indulgence is the cryptic crossword. There's an old joke - I get up in the morning, have a shave and do the Times crossword. Then I have another shave.
I can do them, even the super-fiendish but although it's a good exercise for the brain, I'm not sure why as I don't learn anything from it and would rather do a good quiz or cryptic crossword. The Times Quick Cryptic is fairly easy and fun, but I often struggle to get going with the main Times Crossword. My favourite is the Private Eye Cryptic Crossword.
I used to do Sudoku years ago and then kakuro (which I prefer), then cryptic crosswords. Nowadays I'm more into chess and chess puzzles. I like puzzles, my brain seems to need them. I'm also a fiendishly good scrabble player :)

I'm a pub quiz clever-dick, but I just can't do cryptic crosswords. Somehow I can locate any old junk fact instantly if it's in the memory bank, but I can't think round corners.

Interesting. I'm like Sudoku and Kakuru but any cryptic crossword is beyond me.
About four years ago I decided to learn to solve that shit. Only took an evening to get it down.
I was inspired to after seeing this video.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.
Could only manage one side of a Rubik's cube and have never completed a crossword.
Sudoku is my go to toilet pastime, got bored with the 9 x 9 and now only do 12 x 12 which can lead to some dead legs if I get too involved.
Never heard of Kakuro...(quick google) oh dear, that looks tempting.
Was into Wordle last year, dropped it for a while but the family WhatsApp group have resurrected it. Got it in 2 the other day.
The cube's actually not that difficult to solve. But it's REALLY HARD to solve quickly.
I can do it in a minute which is basically the football equivalent of being good enough to play for some sort of non-league side.
Whereas the record is just over three seconds which is some sort of superhuman shit.
