Where do crosswords come from?
Did you know that crossword puzzles, despite being one of the most popular types of word games in the world, are actually pretty new? Crossword-like puzzles have appeared in children's magazines since the 19th century but were often much simpler and used basic shapes. One of the most popular appeared in an Italian magazine and used a simple four-by-four grid with no shaded squares. In 1913, a journalist named Arthur Wynne published a "word-cross" puzzle in the New York City-based magazine "New York World" that became the basis for the style of modern crosswords. Many historians reference this as the first true crossword puzzle. An illustrator later flipped the "word-cross" name to give us "crossword." Wynne's style of puzzle quickly caught on and became a mainstay in newspapers and magazines worldwide. In 1924, Simon & Schuster published the first book of crossword puzzles after receiving a suggestion from the aunt of one of the founders.
