I<\/span><\/p>\n
like to do crosswords. They seem to calm me down when I’m stressed or anxious. Funny thing was that I never did crosswords before, but over the past 2-3 years I have really delved into them.<\/p>\n
Whether it’s a crossword from the New York Times or USA Today, there’s a common thread that I’ve noticed throughout them. Building crossword puzzles has to be daunthing and just downright hard. Because of this fact, there are a handful of words that I see appearing in all kinds of crossword puzzles over and over, and over again.<\/p>\n
Whether it’s the local paper, the NYT, Yahoo, Google, or USA Today there are words that somehow find their way into these puzzles continuously. So, I have built my first crossword puzzle using words that I have kept track of when they continue to re-appear. I guess these are words that help get puzzle builders out of a word-jam.<\/p>\n
So, without further adieu I give you the Crossword Puzzles’ All-Star Word Team:<\/p>\n
