Jumble = 1:36
Word Search = 2:37
NEA crossword = 3:23
NYT crossoword (#1230) = 48:06, with 6 lookups
Good start, but NYT was very tough. I have the minor excuse of Dance Dance Revolution and then the Pro Bowl in the background. Looked up 6 things: ENOS [Book after Jacob in the Book of Mormon]; EVES [Bayou, 1997 Samuel Jackson film]; OTOE [Nebraska City's county]; ENNIS [Seat of County Clare]; TONEDEAF [Unable to hit a pitch]; and LARA [Logan of CBS News]. The upper right corner took a long time to figure out, with many false starts.
Nowhere near as fast as people like "Orange" aka Amy Reynaldo? (http://crosswordfiend.blogspot.com/) or Trip Payne (http://qaqaq.livejournal.com/), or Tyler Hinman (http://rpipuzzleguy.livejournal.com/). Of course, they are some of the best in the US. Want to know more, check out the documentary "Wordplay".
