Crossword Challenge

We LOVE Crossword Challenge! Seriously, I think I look forward to this 20-40 minutes that we spend with Ashlyn and James most day. Some might be wondering what crossword challenge is, well let me explain...

Crossword challenge is a challenge made by the 4 of us in attempt to compete with one another in Crosswords. (I say attempt because Landon and I have a pretty good record going. We have quite a few wins and only one loss. Pretty successful season if you ask me.) So we go to www.webcrosswords.com  where they have daily crosswords available and they are a little challenging. Not like New York Times challenging but more than user created crosswords. We really enjoy them. 

Anyways, we pair off into our couples and start at the same time. We recently started not allowing any internet look ups so the game is running 4 minutes on average longer, bringing us to 24 minutes per puzzle. But in the end first couple to finish with all the right answers WINS! 

Now this may not sound super challenging but we do this in the same room so whispering is very essential and having a split knowledge on things is required too. Ashlyn was explaining yesterday and her and James have a system, she knows all the cultural references and James knows the geography and science stuff. With Landon and I it tends to be he gets a little of everything and I get the tricky ones that require thinking out of the box. 

We never beat them by much but we love the adrenaline rush that comes from Crossword Challenge. We have free entertainment and brain exercises all in one. Perfect combination.
