Crossword Puzzle History

Some historians believe that Crossword puzzles are as ancient as human writing systems. Assyrian cuneiform writing, one of the oldest writing systems in the world, was preserved throughout the ages in clay tablets hardened by fire. Those tablets were arranged in grids, exactly as the modern crossword. Many historians speculate whether those tablets were used only for commerce or if they had an recreational usage.

This puzzle became popular in the XIX century in the US. Starting with monthly almanacs, evolving to magazines and individual publications, this game has become very popular, capturing minds and souls of millions of the American people.

They come in several sizes and formats: diamond-shaped or New York Times Crossword's grid style.

Solving methods

Some people are very meticulous on how they solve Crosswords. Some fill squares in order. Other people fill horizontally and then vertically. Some even start with smaller words and building their way into larger words. But the vast majority live a life of wild abandon: eye-scanning questions and writing letters into squares according to their heart's content. Something we can say for sure is that the more words are solved, the easier it gets to solve the remaining words. Each word you solve provides clues to solve other words because they reveal certain letters of other squares.
