Try cryptic crosswords. Every clue is a wordplay exercise.

What’s this one, fourteen letters, ‘See you in the funny pages’? Starts with an ‘F’ and ends with a ‘T’.

The word play in this comic NEVER ceases to amaze—and entertain—me . . . thank gawd for F&E, Thaves . . .and, OF COURSE, the wonderful, malleable, ever-changing English language!

Last panel…Alrighty, but next time a lick and a promise won’t suffice.

The New York Times crosswords often include puns, usually (but not always) with a question mark to let you know that something’s afoot. I alternate between grinding my teeth (because I didn’t catch the wordplay) and admiring the cleverness of the puzzle creators. Here’s one of my all-time favorites:
Clue: Number of people? Answer: Anesthesiologist.

I prefer crossword puzzles with clever clues far more than ones with obscure words that have to be looked up.
