I'm incredibly out of practice now, but when I was with BT there were several of us in the office who would buy a daily newspaper each - Telegraph, Times, Grauniad, etc. - photocopy their cryptic crosswords, and share them out amongst ourselves to do at our desks throughout the day. Eventually one got to recognise the different " signatures" of the people setting them, they all had their own styles, which actually helped with solving their puzzles. There was one guy whose nom de plume (perhaps nom de guerre might be closer?) escapes me now, who set puzzles for The Times, and who all of us hated, he was truly evil. Whenever we actually defeated him it was a cause for celebration among the team. Number puzzles I'm not so hot on, but I love words, and always have done. My aunt, who was a nun, introduced me to the Telegraph crossword when I was nine, or ten. I used to sit with her, and " help" her when she visited us.

Crosswords have always been a problem for me. Some of the difficult ones I don't even understand when given the answer. The boss has explained some to me and I disagree
Perhaps this is why Wordle doesn't appeal

Wordle 215 6/6
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Tonight, I learnt an interesting lesson about something that hadn't occurred to me before. Words can use the same letter twice.
EXAMPLE: Suppose the word was TENET and I guessed LEMON; It would just show as LEMON and it would not indicate to me that there was a second "E" somewhere.

Wordle 216 4/6 ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Absolutely braindead today. On my third try after I'd already got the last four letters I used a letter from my first guess that I already knew wasn't being used. DOH! Could have got it in two, should have got it in three, ended up getting it in four.
