Crossword puzzles have become a recent hobby of mine--like I need another hobby to take up more of the time I don't have. I'm not very good with little words in other languages. I don't remember things very well and so I'm hoping that doing crossword puzzles will help me retain words better. So many of the words in a crossword are words that you really don't use too much in your every day or preaching life. I'm just not sure if the word Spoor (footprints in one of the African languages) will ever be used in a sermon.
I was very proud because today I completed the entire Thursday puzzle without help from a dictionary or other people. Every so often I can complete one by myself. I'm still not very good with little words in other languages.
Thanks for the help with my last word I needed help with. The clue was Outback Maker. The answer was SUBARU. Easy answer, but I couldn't get my mind to go that direction no matter what I did. I kept thinking of something in Australia.
Here is one that I could'nt get, because I didn't know. Who was Galahad's Mother? Starts with an E. It would be easy to look it up on line or something, but I think that is cheating.
Her is another, Coffin Table. The answer is bier. I asked a friend Shane Fuller, who is a funeral director and he knew right away. He said if I ever had another funeral home type question to just give him a call.
Don't talk to me about the New York Times Crosswords. Maybe one day, if I retire, I will try and work those out. I used to do USA Today crossword puzzle, until they went up to $1.00 a paper.
I'm still not very good with little words in other languages.
