Check out my cryptoquip site: www.wordles.com

Been online for many years - enjoy!

The thing is, it is the structure of having the ritual of going down the street at lunchtime to the newsstand and getting the paper... going back and giving the sports section to one guy, the front section to another and then doing the sudoku in the classifieds... I can always return tothe break room on my way out for an afternoon smoke and grab the cypher and usually nail it... or not. If I can't, no big deal... tomorrow is another. I think, for me, it is about not being on a stupid computer.

Agreed! The rituals are important.

A lot of our subscribers are elderly folks who print out the daily email and solve it with coffee. When we miss a day for some reason we get inundated with emails about how they can't start the day without their puzzle. ;-)
