Come on, man! The one time I actually do it quick enough to be able to claim that I am a human with real fingers you make it seem like the time was rigged and I really am typing like a hippo with zucchinis for thumbs.

I made a video where I picked a random crossword puzzle from the archives and did it. Just to prove the naysayers wrong ;)
This was 1 take, my first video attempt.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Interesting tablet UI. I wonder if it's easier to see all the clues at one time, or just noisier.

I tried, but my screen recorder app stopped recording in middle and said, "Seriously dude? How much memory do you think your phone has?"

Partial Spoiler:

Question: Was the "Frozen" Queenanswer straight up the wrong answer ?

Can they do answers that are wrong, but can work by association to the right answer?

Just checked the puzzle and they changed the question. I don't know Frozen, but I just looked it up, and correct answer was in fact the queen.
