Which one do you like to do more?

Maybe you like to do them in your spare time if your bored or for an easy homework assignment.

Whats your challenge?
 
Word searches are what I'm more used to, even though I like Crossword puzzles alot better.

I voted for WS for some strange reason. :confused:
 
I'll say I think i'll go with Crosswords cuz there alittle more challenging.
 
Kakuro>Sudoku>Crosswords>Word Searches
 
Word searches are more fun than a crossword puzzle.Crossword puzzles hurt my brain:(
 
Word searches, cuz I'm not required to know stuff :o
 
BORING!!!!!!!!!! they all puzzles to help the soon to be pissing themselves uncontrollaby slow down the dementia. Or teens who have no friends hate their familys stay in their rooms and find puzles their only comfort from their sad existance....... i prefer Crosswords btw!
 
finishing a crossword is probably the most fulfilling....even the most complex sudoku board is simply straight forward trial and error if you take a systematic approach. nothing better than cracking a crossword puzzle though. wordsearches simply kill time and bring no sense of achievement to the player.
 
Out of the two I would vote wordsearches, but I'm a fan of codecrackers.
 
Wordsearches. Crossword puzzles tend to have clues relating to topics that I don't pay much attention to:

Example: T.V. Guide's Crossword puzzle is all about which actors play in which shows, or the titles of obscure shows, or other odd things.
 
Crossword puzzles. Word searches of for people with no intelligence.
 
I do the NY Times and NY Magazine X-words every week. I tend to need a little help w/the Times though... :O
 
I like both of them. I think word searches are easier but still fun to do.

I dont' really understand kakuro.

Kakuro's pretty much a combination of Saduko and Crosswords puzzles...a Crossnumber Puzzle, if you will.

It's just like a Crossword puzzle, but instead of clues you're given the sum of all the numbers in that particular line. Each line uses the digits 1-9, with no repeating digits.

For example,

If you have a line that's 2 spaces and has a sum of 16, you know that the two numbers have to be 9 and 7, since that is the only combination of two single-digit, non-repeated numbers that can add up to 16. Yes, 8+8=16,too, but you can't repeat 8. Now all that's left is figuring out which digit goes in which spot. You will find this out with the help of the intersecting lines.



As a huge fan of math, and a great fan of both Soduko and Crossword puzzles, Kakuro is perfect for me. It can be very hard, and takes a lot of number logic to do.


Here, if this link works, there's a great example here to try out...
