Do you know about??

The popular word game has been a staple in the newspapers for as long as anyone can remember. We can thank a newspaper for introducing us to this world-famous puzzle. The year was 1913 and British journalist Arthur Wynne worked for the New York World. He called it “FUN’s Word-Cross Puzzle” since it was in the FUN section of the paper. It was a typo just weeks after the initial publication that termed it a “Cross-Word”. There were differences between his and the ones we see now; it was a diamond shape without the black squares to indicate there weren’t letters like.
