Background Information

Definition A puzzle in which an arrangement of numbered squares is to be filled with words running both across and down in answer to correspondingly numbered clues. Also called crossword puzzle.

History On Dec. 21, 1913, the Sunday New York World printed a puzzle called a "word-cross," devised by Liverpudlian Arthur Wynne. The puzzle was an immediate success and became a weekly feature. The name evolved into the more euphonious "cross-word," and finally, the hyphen was dropped… In 19th-century England, word squares had become the basis for primitive crossword puzzles for children, sometimes with pictures as clues or with an educational slant. Adults didn't do them until the World's word-cross in 1913.

Word Squares in Pompeii Word squares go back to ancient times—a word square was found in the Roman ruins of Pompeii. Word squares are difficult to compose—the really satisfactory 10-letter word square has yet to be devised by either person or computer.

Word games Along with the standard crossword puzzle, newspapers today have word jumbles, word searches, cryptic crossword puzzles, diagramless puzzles, acrostics, and other word games.

The New York World has disappeared, as well as the 1920s fads of flagpole sitting and goldfish swallowing, but Simon & Schuster still publishes books of crossword puzzles and the crossword's popularity continues on into the 21st century
