That extra free time may have opened up the opportunity to re-engage with old hobbies or start entirely new ones. Such endeavors may have result- ed in items that can make ideal hand- made holiday gifts. Crafting or engaging in other cre- ative pursuits is a great way to pass the time and alleviate anxiety related to self-quarantining. Katie Carey Levisay, a clinical neuropsychologist in Denver, said that crafting requires focused attention and forces a person to be completely immersed in the moment. For those who prefer to continue to avoid crowds until COVID-19 is in the world’s collective rearview mirror, producing handmade gifts also cuts down on trips to shopping malls and other retailers. Those interested in making hand- made gifts this holiday season can consider these ideas.

  • How to Solve the New York Times Crossword Puzzle by WILL
    How to Solve the New York Times Crossword Puzzle By WILL SHORTZ Published: April 8, 2001 A crossword puzzle is a battle between the puzzle maker and editor on one • side and the solver on the other. But unlike most battles, both sides here have the same goal -- for the solver to win. A perfect puzzle may put up lots of resistance. It may, in fact, seem impossible at first. Ideally, though, in the end the solver should triumph and think, Oh, how clever I am! The perfect level of difficulty, of course, differs from person to person. This is why, as editor, I vary the weekday Times crossword difficulty from easy-medium on Monday up to what the actor and puzzle aficionado Paul Sorvino calls "the bitch mother of all crosswords" on Saturday. (He said this as a compliment.) The goal is to have something for everyone. I advise new solvers to begin on Monday and see how far through the week they can go. The Sunday Times puzzle, while larger than its weekday counterpart, averages only Thursday-plus in difficulty. Step 1 in solving any crossword is to begin with the answers you're surest of and build from there. The fill-in-the-blank clues are easy to spot and often the easiest to solve. Focus in the early stages on the three-, four-, and five-letter words, because the English language has relatively few of these, and the same ones tend to repeat a lot in puzzles. This is especially so for vowel-heavy words like ALEE, IOTA, EEL, AGO, OREO, etc.

  • More Sliding-Letter Puzzles
    MORE SLIDING-LETTER PUZZLES Mike Keith Furlong, Pennsylvania Since writing “Vintage Plastic Sliding-Letter Puzzles” (WW, Nov. 2011, p. 310) I have discovered some additional puzzles of this variety manufactured by various companies during the 1960’s and 1970’s - and one of recent vintage that is still in print. In this article I will describe each of these puzzles and discuss some of the logological problems suggested by them. First, some definitions. Given a rectangular grid of squares where each square either contains a letter or is a black square (as in a traditional crossword puzzle), a string is a group of horizontally or vertically contiguous letter squares that is immediately preceded and succeeded by either an edge of the grid or a black square. An n-crossword is a grid in which all strings are at least n letters long and every string of two or more letters is a valid English word. Throughout this article I will use the TWL06 North American Scrabble word list as the arbiter of valid words. SKOR Our first puzzle, shown in the picture to the right, is called SKOR and was manufactured by Wm. F. Drueke & Sons, a well-known game manufacturer, in the 1960’s. As usual, I do not know how the tiles were arranged when this puzzle was originally sold, so I have arranged them to make a snowball sentence. This puzzle has exactly the same structure as the Roalex “Scribe-O” discussed in my previous article, having 26 letters, 5 blank red-colored tiles, and an empty space in an 8x4 grid.
