Crossword puzzles are like Scrabble they both publish dictionaries because they're words hardly used in real life situations.I have late 19th early 20th century newspapers and the lingo used then is no longer used.
I LOVE crossword puzzles! I had a good friend who would always get so po'd at me because I always used a pen when I did them and she thought I was just being a know-it-all... Hey, I just used White-Out when I had to!
