Most of us consider our cruciverballing to be brain exercise (it is said to help ward off dementia) and because we just love doing the puzzles. However, we do not claim to know it all and like most other endeavours, when we are stuck we look for help, be that in a dictionary, a thesaurus or other reference book, on the net or asking on A2k. (It is referred to as using your resource material to expand your knowledge.)
Are athletes cheating when they use a trainer or equipment at a gym?
There is an old saying - Ask a question and you are a fool for five minutes; don't ask and you are a fool forever. :wink:
