rhuOK, after seeing Daniel Okrent's notebook in Wordplay, I'm going to start timing myself again.
MonNYT 3:44 (clean)
TueNYT 5:07 (2 careless errors)
I wonder, on fast puzzles such as Monday's, how much of a factor is pen vs. keyboard? Seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rpipuzzleguy's fingers flying over the keyboard in Wordplay, and then having the experience today of doing a single puzzle in AcrossLite, makes me wonder how much of an advantage it is to be able to use all ten fingers while solving. Obviously, it'd be minimal on a Saturday, but would that be the difference between yesterday being a 3:44 and, say, a 3:15?
