Puzzle Notes
“Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress: Working hard for something we love is called passion” ~Simon Sinek
Greetings Subscribers,
Why do we solve crosswords? Is it to relax, to challenge, to wake up, to distract us from our troubles or to fall asleep from boredom? The answer is, I think, -- yes. It's -- all, none or some of the above. Perhaps this involves an element of control: that we can tailor the solving experience to suit our current needs. When we figure out our "why," it's easy to decide what to do. We stop watching the clock and dive into work that nourishes our passions. Today's cerebral workout provides a variation on that theme.
Welcome to Week 622 of Crossword Nation. We invite you to solve "Why, Yes!" as your crossword of the week.
If you like our puzzles, please remember to give them a good rating on Amy Reynaldo's blog on Tuesdays. This helps our channel stay strong and independent. Thank you!
Be well and thank you for supporting our little puzzle shop. Until next time, I remain . . .
Cruciverbally yours,
Liz
