Studies have shown that doing crossword puzzles, and other logic puzzles, can help stave off Alzheimer’s disease. It can also help stave off the boredom of flying, waiting at the airport, or waiting in line. If you don’t get car sick, it’s also an easy way to occupy yourself on a car trip.
Keep a crossword puzzle easily at hand with the New York Times electronic crossword puzzle, containing 1,000 puzzles, with three levels of difficulty. Use the stylus that comes with the unit to put in your letter on the touch screen. There’s a save option so you don’t have to finish the puzzle all in one sitting.
And, although some may consider it “cheating,” there’s a “hint key” if you run into difficulty.
You can buy the New York Times Electronic Crossword from Gadget Bargains for $49.50.
