You are quicker on the clicker.

Nopeā€¦ just good at the Jumble. My grandfather used to do the Jumble daily, when I was a kid (under 11), I would sit with him every day, seven days a week, and we would work it out. He was really good (he worked for the NYT, had a way with words and the English language), when his eyesight got bad, I would simply read out the letters to him and he would come back with the answer in seconds, without scratching any notes or anything.

Some of that rubbed off on me.
