I used to think I was pretty good at crosswords. Then someone I was seeing (lol why do we use that euphemism anyhow?) got hold of a Times of London crossword and we sat down with it and gave up pretty quickly, it was humiliating.

They do those cryptic crosswords, right? That really does require a different skill set. Each clue is like 3 different riddles, and half of the letters in the grid only appear in a single word, so it doesn't even help you much when you do figure out one of them. Not my cup of...let's say coffee.

It'd be fun if you could do an all baseball puzzle.

Pretty sure I could make one with a baseball theme but probably not one that's exclusively baseball content. Anyway, I'll share it here if I do come up with a decent baseball-themed puzzle.

They have them in old baseball digests. I also had picked up a few books over the years of all baseball crosswords. Also got baseball sudoku. I really got into it a few years ago.
