I bought this for my husband for his birthday. It is alot of fun to use and has great features. Perfect for use at home or while traveling.
The puzzles are quite challenging - even the 'easy' level and if you want to, it is easy to cheat - answers are just a click away.

I bought the NY Times electronic crossword puzzle for my eighty year old grandmother who is always carrying around the paper crossword puzzles. She thought it was a great concept, but it took three of us to figure out the easy level crosswords! I can't imagine the higher levels of difficulty on this little machine! My grandmother said she was used to having a crossword puzzle that already had some letters in the boxes to help here solve the puzzles quicker and easier. Overall, it is a good product and if you have a problem solving one of the crosswords, you can push a button and it will solve it for you! I would recommend it because it is a great brain exerciser!
