Fun African Crosswords to try out online

There are endless ways to tackle a crossword puzzle. Do them at the dining room table on a slow weekend morning, pencil in hand (or pen, if you're feeling reckless). Gather around the Sunday puzzle with friends, helping each other with clues. Or, you could fill them out on an app, and make the long commute to work whiz by.

No matter how you approach the crossword puzzle, this remains the same: There's not much in the world more satisfying than filling in that very last square.

Doing crosswords is the equivalent of eating vegetables for your mind. Except that crosswords are way more fun than salad.
