Of course you'll learn. It's even better than just reading or something because you're actually taking the time to research what a word means, or researching the word itself so it'll be stored in your memory better :) then you'll be able to associate the word with other words and whenever you read a text with the same word again you'll be like "hey I know what this means!".
Most definately.
Wouldn't it just as easy to pick up a dictionary and learn a few words a day and use them in sentences?
Most certainly, improves your vocabulary, spelling and exercises your brain in a fun way...
Absolutely. Should you ever need to use 'ESNE' in a sentence or explain what an Erne is. Maybe you need to point out the Yser River. But really, x-words are fun and they do keep your mind exercised and if your retention is any good they will improve your vocabulary.
Most definitely

You don't use most of those words in normal conversation, but it is a good mental 'practice'...!!!
Crossword puzzles and reading are both excellent ways to improve your vocabulary. And even if you are looking at the answers it'll still help you improve your vocabulary. But I think that you would have more fun doing crossword puzzles if you tried to figure them out on your own.
