CROCROSSWORDR

The crossword (puzzle) first appeared on December 21, 1913. Arthur Wynne created it for the New York World newspaper. Wynne gave 35 clues and called it a word-cross. The puzzle was a great success. The cross-word, as it called today, is the world's most popular game. Nearly 90 percent of the world's newspapers publish them. In the United States there are nearly thirty million fans of this game.
Most forms of games require a partner. Crosswords do not. This is, perhaps, the reason
why they attract so much attention.
Why do people do crosswords? Maybe for educational value. Most fans say that they play crosswords to check their abilities and their speed in doing the puzzle. The more they play, the more they become to solve the most difficult crosswords.
But most experts doubt that puzzles teach anything. They say the most evident reason
why the crosswords are played is that they are done just for fun.
