Crosswords and puzzles are great, I got into them not that long ago really when I was buying magazines such as "full house" and "chat" they have crosswords and puzzles in them, and I started doing them, and I was HOOKED!!! :-D I'm a 19 year old girl who likes to party and have fun....so it just shows that crosswords and puzzles really aren't just for old men!!! I've always known that a crossword a day keeps things like alchziemers (cannot spell I'm afraid!!!) away, and keeps your brain functioning in good working order especially if you do a job where your brain isn't really needed much and isn't stimulated. I was working at Tesco for a while as a ...  Read the complete review

Puzzled by Sudoku ? Sudoku is the number puzzle that has taken the UK by storm , if you have not heard or tied it where have you been hiding ? ~ The meaning of Sudoku ~ Originating from Japan , the original name for this puzzle is ‘Suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru’ – but try putting this into any publication .

www.crosswordclub.org is a site to visit for people who like really tough crosswords with prizes awarded. I found it quite by chance, when I was surfing. Make no mistake, this is one for people who don't have a problem with The Times crossword, and can tackle Ximenes. The club was founded by three enthusiasts in Australia in 1990, and the members are mostly Australian. This adds extra interest for non-Australians, as some of the clues are Aus-orientated. I've discovered a lot about wildlife, places, plants and general vocabulary. You need the Internet and a really good dictionary for this. Here's how it works. You subscribe on site, and the charge for ...  Read the complete review

Every few months my husband and I meet up with a group of friends at somebody's house for a games and quiz evening. We normally have a music or general knowledge quiz which we either make up or copy questions from a quiz book. However, we have been getting a bit bored of these quizzes and decided to try something new, it was my turn to compile the first new quiz and I got the idea for the new quiz from a local quiz that we attend once a month. My version was very well received so I thought I would share it with you lovely people on Dooyoo. If you find it too difficult or boring please don't leave without rating - VU would be nice LOL. The quiz itself is ...  Read the complete review

Fans of the TV series ‘Bottom’ will recall the scene where Adrian Edmonson and Rik Mayall are attempting to complete a simple crossword. When they think they know an answer they are not put off by the fact that it is too long to fit the boxes provided, but squeeze it in by putting two letters to a box! Many people are similarly frustrated by these black and white instruments of torture but I find them enjoyable, although this may just be due to the fact that they satisfy my sado-masochistic streak. Drying paint can remain unwatched – I would rather fill in grid with a lot of unconnected words. There are several types of crossword and ...  Read the complete review
