DESCRIPTION :

Crossword puzzles are said to be the most popular and widespread word game in the world. rossword grids such as those appearing in most North American newspapers and magazines feature solid chunks of white squares. Every letter is checked and usually each answer is required to contain at least three letters. In such puzzles black squares, used to separate answers, are traditionally limited to about one-sixth of the design.

HISTORY :

The first crosswords appeared in England during the 19th century. On Dec. 21, 1913, the Sunday New York World pirnted a puzzle called a "word-cross," devised by LIverpudlian Arthur Wynne. The puzzle was an immediate success and became a weekly feature.

The first appearance of a crossword in a British publication was in Pearson's Magazine in February 1922, and the first Times crossword appeared on February 1 1930. The earliest precursor to the crossword is the word square. A word square consists of a group of words, all equal in length, arranged to form the same words across and down. In December 1913, Arthur Wynne took the idea of different Across and Down answers a step further, creating a diamond-shaped "word-cross" for the Sunday "Fun" section of the New York World.
