Solve Crossword Puzzles

Please carefully read the instructions below.

You will be given access to three crossword puzzles to play, generously provided by Boswords . You may play as many of these puzzles as you would like to. You can also spend as much time as you would like to on each puzzle. However, we encourage you to try for 30 minutes, but if you don't finish in 30 minutes, feel free to move on. We ask that you do not user the internet to search for clue answers.

To receive access to the puzzles, you will first be asked to fill out the following survey with a username we randomly generate for you: Survey Link. Once you complete the survey, you will recieve an access code which you will use to access the puzzles. After you are finished playing as many puzzles as you wish to, you may quit the study.

NOTE: You must be on a laptop or computer to participate. The puzzle solving interface is shown below.

Our research team will be collecting keystroke data (e.g. letters entered) as you solve the puzzle, but no personal identifying information.
For any further questions, please contact Megha Srivastava at meghas@stanford.edu.
