Well personally I choose word searches because I am a hell of a lot better at them. I cannot do crossword puzzles for the life of me. I don't have the patience.

What about you? Which do you prefer/like to do more?

And yes, I know this is random but I bought a word search book for the plane ride and was wondering what ya'll thought.

Word searches, because there is always a hope that you can finish. For crossword puzzles, there isn't. For me, anyway.

Haha, I know. Word searches are easier; at least you know that if you can't finish it, then you haven't looked hard enough. For crossword puzzles, I can never finish them unless it's one of those educational ones that teachers give you because you just have to use your head or notes to find the words. The ones in the NYTimes, man forget it; it's impossible for me.

word search is lot better. I love them because they're not hard like crossword puzzle because im bad at solving problems. Well problems as in homeworks and those hard history stuff. I'm good at solving relationship problems though!

Word searches are easy because the whole point is to find the word...the crossword you have to think about what word may fit...thats too much thinking for me.

Hmm, I like both, but I think crosswords are better. I do them everyday, either the NYTimes one, or the one in the AMNY newspaper. I like the challenge. Word searches are ok because they're easier.

...although I do have to say, if I ever do end up finishing a crossword puzzle, I would have a MUCH larger sense of satisfaction after finishing one, compared to a wordsearch.

Word Searches! Like Christina, I have those books. I did about six or seven of them over the summer, and it had about 100 word searches in them. Yea, that's what boredome does to you.

I don't like Crossword Puzzles. :[ Too hard for me.

CROSS WORDS ..

word searches are easy .. all you have to do is look for tha first letter of a word, and then look at tha letters in tha boxes around it and see if they match .. and eventually find tha whole word ..

cross words actually take thinking and clues .. and finding words that fit in with tha puzzle



edit \\ i see that many people say word searches because they don't have patience to think .. well .. aren't these puzzles meant to pass time ?? .. so you DO have tha time to think .. mellow.gif
