Interesting. Especially the words from this years news. Many of them I would not have heard of a year ago. For example "sudoku". I cannot get on with it but my wife is an addict.

Soduko :laugh: I can't crack those either :wink:

I kid you not :biggrin:

Love crosswords though, and eggheads :wink:

I think we are split between those who love words (crossword lovers) and those who are at home with numbers ( sudoku lovers).

My wife has won the prize with the Daily Telegraph sudoku comp. I've never won a thing with the crossword. Mind you I never enter, so it isn't surprising I never win.

Thos :w00t:
