History of Crossword Puzzle Day
The exact origin and the founder of this day are still unknown. Initially, they were like a kind of simple stuff where a group of words is arranged so that the letters will be read alike vertically and horizontally. They have printed in children’s puzzle books and some of the periodicals. In later days, it became a serious pastime for adults in the US. A journalist from Liverpool named Arthur Wynne was the inventor or creator of Crossword Puzzles Games. The first crossword puzzle was released in the “Newyork World” newspaper on December 21, 1913. The First appearance of the puzzle games in a British publication was in Pearson’s Magazine in February of 1922. The British Puzzles had grown on their own style and were considered to be harder than US puzzles as the days went on.
