I work from home a couple of days a week, so should really have completed this without the use of any hints, but inexplicably got stuck when I was almost finished and had to use one to move my game along. Matters started well, with MOUSE uncovered very early on, and PRINTER, KEYBOARD, MONITOR and the spangram, DESKTOP, all added quickly.

But despite only having 14 letters left, I couldn’t form two more answers out of them. And I couldn’t think of any other computer-related things people might use. My own desktop was no help: I only have a laptop, so not a single one of the answers on the NYT’s list, although I suppose that does have a keyboard, speakers and webcam built in. Anyway, I used up one hint to identify WEBCAM, then was able to add SPEAKERS after that.
