Although I never had any patience with crossword puzzles and other such games, my grandmother was such a cruciverbalist that she constantly carried a pocket thesaurus, crossword reference book, and her puzzles with her wherever she went.


This is true. My grandma used to love crosswords. I have no mind or patience for them, though.
