For those of you who enjoy doing crossword puzzles, do you have any personally-set rules on how you go about it?

  For example, some people like to go through as many ‘across’ clues as they can before starting with any of the ‘down’ clues, or vice-versa, some people begin with the shortest words first and then build from there, some people time themselves, some people refuse to look up answers in dictionaries or other texts, some people answer the fill-in-the-blank clues first, some people like solving them all alone, while others might want a group effort, or some people prefer to solve only the most difficult ones they can find, and lastly, some people only use a pencil, never a pen.
