“And to the solvers I bequeath a few theories about puzzles. Don't be conscience‐stricken if you use dictionaries, atlases and such in doing a puzzle. It's your puzzle and you can do it any way you please.

Don't let it bug you if somebody else solves a puzzle in half the time you do. That person is probably one who gulps down a gourmet French dinner too.”

- Will Weng, former New York Times Crossword Editor
