I wish I did better with crosswords, sometimes I can fill out 5-10 answers but it's so sparse it's hard to check myself.

There are easier puzzles out there. If you didn't know, generally the easiest puzzles are on Monday, and they get harder everyday of the week. I use an app called Forkyz (on F-Droid, not sure if it's on play store, but I know there are similar apps) that downloads several crosswords. Try Monday's Thomas Joseph or Sheffer for some easier puzzles.

After you do enough of them you'll start to see a lot of repeat clues.

9 across is one of my favorites.

"Loves speed and energy" = OOMPH (as in "oomph" is a word meaning energy, or 'Oo! Miles-per-hour!" as in "loves speed").
