Crossword Puzzle Turns 100 years old!
This week the crossword puzzle turns 100 years old.
Back in 1913, Arthur Wynne, then an editor at the New York World, was trying to create a game for the newspaper’s comics section. Wynne devised a game of white squares arranged in a diamond-shaped grid, with a list of definitions below. Readers were to fill in the squares with words that matched the definitions. 100 years later, word lovers everywhere still enjoy playing crosswords.
Enjoy, crossword puzzle fans!
