[metalzero1234]

give he guy some slack...everyone has different talents and his is doing crosswords puzzles....just cause you cant do it dont bag on the guy

[willngross]

All of you need to understand that crossword puzzles VARY in difficulty. These tournament puzzles I assume are quite difficult, while in his 2 minute solves he is often working on Monday's puzzle in the New York Times, which is not very difficult.

He even needs to think about the "word" before even writing it down. But on the other videos, he zoomed through it like dust. So his other so called "2.5 min corssword" is definetly fake and edited. He needs to be doing sumthign better in life than puzzles.

[Taurine77]

the puzzle he is doing here is not like the others, it is at a much more dificulte

[yuna238]

He sucked, if you ppl look at his other video at doing the "times mag crossword under 2.5 min" this man is bullshit about world greatest crossword player. If he is so good, then he should be able to solve this puzzle like he solved other ones in under 2.5 min. This man needs a life instead of doing puzzles forever.

[ennienyc]

This puzzle is MUCH MUCH harder than the other one.

[Mitsukai1o1Tsuchi]

Choked*

[Mitsukai1o1Tsuchi]

He completely chocked in the left hand corner :(

[oldpossum]

Amazing -- didn't know that there WAS such a thing as a CWP-Tournament...

Reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes joke, when Watson was doing the Times CWP, asking Holmes:

What's a citrus growing plant? And Holmes replied:

"A lemon tree, dear Watson" (Elementary, get it?)

[phily880]

Bahaha, thats genious.

[RyanChristianson]

i had to say it to get it but LOLROFLLMAOLAWL

[oldpossum]

hey thanks guys -- a genius friend told me that one.

Btw: did you know that in all 85 Holmes sequences, he never said that line?

Oh -- another Holmes joke:

Watson barges into Holme's office, and there he sits on the couch, with a young girl on his lap. He screams: "Omg -- what kind of a schoolgirls is this?" and he: "Elementary, my dear Watson".

And -- I know LOL, what's the rest???
