Enjoyable. It kept me watching. The yanks are a bit full of themselves, but that element doesn't detract too much. No boring bits in this one. The scenes showing people solving crosswords in real time are excellent.

Far better than 'Spellbound' - charming, a bit 'off-the-wall', but interesting throughout and well put-together in an editing sense

I enjoyed this - lots of cameo's from different people, even Bill Clinton. I thought it was a good movie for an afternoon when you have some time to kill. I thought it was interesting seeing how they do a crossword convention.

As I am a Crossword addict, I had great interest in this DVD. I have never been able to complete a New York Times Crossword. To be truthful I only get a few of the easier clues solved. So I was amazed at how quickly these competitors achieved these puzzles and at how they are made up in the first place. I can understand their obsession. This was a good DVD for like-minded people.
