Crossword Puzzles
Are you ever at a loss for words? Your mind scrambles to find the words, but your brain is dark and empty. For a moment, there is a dim light that reveals part of the word you think you’re looking for. But you soon come to realize that the word is too fast for you, and there’s nothing left to do but remain stumped. This happens on occasion to me, and it can be so frustrating not to be able to recall the word you are looking for. You know it and you have used it or said it before, but it’s beyond your reach when you really need it. I recently got hooked back on crossword puzzles when I played a game of word search with my grandma. This used to be a pastime that my grandpa and I enjoyed. Crossword puzzles can help you enhance your vocabulary skills, which, for a writer, is important. The puzzles can be frustrating too, but have no fear because the answers are in the back.
