Whispering While Solving a Cryptic Crossword Puzzle - ASMR - Australian Accent

This is my thirty-eighth #whispering only video. In this video I'm solving a #cryptic crossword. I've been solving Cryptic Crosswords for many years and have never grown tired of these type of crossword puzzles. Some of these crossword clues are easy, but some can be diabolically difficult!
This is an #asmr video, so the purpose is for relaxation. Brought to you by #HisAustralianVoice Channel / @hisaustralianvoice​

I'm really glad you started a second channel. The whispering only is awesome 😎👍

[@stevenb4799]

I concur

[@fulltang1]

Agreed

[@hisaustralianvoice]

hey, thanks!

[@amateurgolf6343]

​@@stevenb4799 Saul Goodman approves

[@pelle9886]

Theres another channel?

[@Rudy_Brando]

I meant to fall asleep to this video but I ended up watching the whole thing because I’d never seen a crossword like this and was interested in how you were solving them, great video!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

thanks!

[@Balloonbot]

I have no idea how he's figuring these out. Do these things have a common rule set?

[@CHARLUCOFC]

Would you ever do a video sharing some wisdom? About any topic, just a ramble about life or something along those lines. Would love to hear that. Great video!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

maybe...

[@mockupower]

@@hisaustralianvoice wise words...

[@lexyeevee]

"spoonerisms" are common phrases with the initial consonants swapped to make a different phrase, attributed to a Reverend Spooner who... i know nothing about except that this is named for him :) so, swap "key ring" to get "ree-king". it comes up in cryptics occasionally and always means the same thing, though sometimes they get cheeky and only refer to him as "the reverend"

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Hey, thanks for letting me know. Now that clue makes sense!

[@sedriczhiggory]

Omg.... I actually stayed awake for this one to try to solve some of the cryptics alongside you and I couldn't even get a single one 😂 And yet each answer makes perfect sense after you solve it

[@sedriczhiggory]

Pretty ironic that you were not AWARE of the missing last answer in 3 Down 😂
Great video Steve, I love these long-form videos

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks! I didn't realise I'd missed the answer for 3 Down until I was editing the video...

[@MrJcarr1985]

PLEASE do more of these, this is so relaxing and fascinating. 😊

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, will do!

[@zackwhalen5535]

Great video! I had never heard of cryptic crosswords so thank you for introducing me to them!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks and no problem!

[@SteveDawgNZ]

I never understood the ‘tricks’ of cryptic crosswords before, thanks so much for explaining!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

You're welcome!

[@jakebaker4066]

My goodness you are smart!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Hey, thanks! Really just a lot of practice.

[@pengoschwortz4734]

Love a good cryptic, hope you do more!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks! I'm sure I'll do more.

[@Scotty19]

Nice video Steve your good at crossword puzzles and loved the whisper 😊

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks!

[@peterstuart2501]

I think Key Ring and Reeking with the clue "says" could be a sounds like clue and a spoonerism clue in one

[@HyakuJuu01300]

Great vid, more of this please👍

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, will do!

[@VistaASMR]

I really love this. Keep up the good work 👍

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, will do!

[@ephemeral_elizabeth]

Do you like and/or play video games? I think that would be a neat video if you discussed about your favorites. Love your videos, I watch them every night!

[@gay_pirate2299]

this really helped me to relax, you have a really soothing voice :-)

[@hisaustralianvoice]

That's great, thanks!

[@ErenFritz27]

This is the first time seeing this kind of word puzzle and just wanna say that the difficulty of it is...... INSANE!!!!!! couldn't get a one word even !! How smartness inside your brain to be able to figure the words out that easily??!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, but it's really just years of practice!

[@ErenFritz27]

@@hisaustralianvoice just years? .... Just??? That's too much and not 'just' 😅

[@Bread115]

Love the content, keep it up

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, will do!

[@meadema11]

Hi Steve, another great video from you today, would you consider doing a remake of your baseball cards video on this channel?

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, and yes that's a good idea!

[@gfall4389]

fantastic

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks!

[@SunnyThief]

Another very relaxing video, thanks!
Hope you're doing alright :)

[@hisaustralianvoice]

You're welcome and yes, I'm going great!

[@SunnyThief]

@@hisaustralianvoice Good to hear!

[@jakebaker4066]

You should be a comic artist. Your hand writing is amazing and your humour delivery is great and dry fit for new papers. Love it. Xo

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks!!

[@magiciansbirthday]

I actually am preferring your two new channels. I’m getting a little tired of the snack foods. I get that they are easy and yes they are relaxing, but I miss the in-depth look into Australian culture. For us in America it is so foreign and interesting to know.
Also, which video do you go through all of the pieces of carpet you’ve used? It was a surprise and a wonderful look back since I have watched your channels from the very beginning.

[@meadema11]

that video is the snowy mountains cookie one

[@hisaustralianvoice]

That's great, I'm glad you're enjoying the new channels!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks Idek! I couldn't remember.

[@lisaking552]

What's the second channel called? 😊

[@MultiWolfLink]

Im honestly uaving a hard time figuring rhese out for myself, but i got 9 right!!! I was thinkg "blast ants" and another word for "obvious" :) i figured itbout but yaing the wrong technique!

[@hisaustralianvoice]

That's great!

[@tktrooper5307]

When your comment fails to load… 😢 Long story short, love the new channel. Keep up the good work.

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks, will do!

[@oscarc5656]

Just wondering what happened to the pk gum chewing

[@Damo-_-]

Here alot of months later just pointing out that 3 down is incomplete. Pretty sure it's 'aware' tho.

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@eugeniev-a4]

3- A W ake?

[@hisaustralianvoice]

Yes, I missed that one...

[@eugeniev-a4]

I am thinking box it would probably be aware instead
But you are really good and thank you for that video because other online are way too hard this is just right

[@ianyoung1101]

WTF is this!!! Bed time for me guys.

[@Balloonbot]

Nice little example of poor graphic design with those cogs 😬
