It's pretty intense. They're SO fast. I mentioned it before, but I would try the LA Times crossword (http://www.latimes.com/games/), which is a little easier than the NYT puzzle but still challenging, or the Charlotte Observer crossword (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/comics_games/), which I find the easiest of the three. And online versions let you know when you have a letter wrong. There's even the option to solve a word or letter if you're stuck. It might make a daily or weekly crossword more doable for you.
