Get the wrong answer that early on is just how it goes, using pen maybe not a good idea. Good that you are doing it, they say it keeps the brain stronger…..like photography.
I do crosswords in pen also…(my grandfather and father did them that way) and mostly if I’m careful it’s okay…but every once in a while I mess up…I guess it is a challenge!
I always solve a puzzle or two as I sit in front of the tv. But the those I do warn you if you have put in the wrong word so you can go back and rethink.
Well, I'm looking over the clues and there's a few where I would have put a different answer! I do crosswords in pencil or erasable pen- but that's the perfectionist in me who has to have it all correct in the end. You've made me want to start these up again.

Gosh, thank you all for your views and your comments. It's been cold the past few days and puzzles seemed a good way to relax between chores so my best photo ops. Thanks for the answer to the clue Katy ( @grammyn) and I had put coyote in the circle (and later the grid) before I saw your suggestion Kathy ) @kjarn) but I thank you. I don't use erasers because they tear up newsprint and I don't like holes in my puzzles. If I have too many mistakes written in pen, I just move on to another puzzle. Sometimes I even do crosswords online. Actually more often than in the paper. There just were a lot lying around from the week of Christmas.
Your clues don't tell numberof letters in answer?! Wierd
