History:
When was the first crossword born, and where? Some say in 1890, in Italy. However, this primitive puzzle was tiny (4x4) and had no shaded squares, and was not even called a crossword. Its author, Giuseppe Airoldi, titled it “To Pass the Time.”
The first true crossword created in 1913 by an English journalist, Arthur Wynne, for the New York World. Its name: “word-cross,” which soon evolved to “crossword.” So, you could say the crossword is both English and American, and it’s approximately one hundred years old.
The crossword quickly became a regular feature in the New York World, then in other periodicals. In 1924, the Sunday Express became the first UK newspaper to introduce crosswords, and both the US and the UK went crossword-crazy.
Initially, some saw crosswords as a passing trend. The New York Public Library complained, “Puzzle 'fans' swarm to the dictionaries and encyclopedias so as to drive away readers and students who need these books.” But others foresaw the crossword’s staying power. In 1924, Simon and Schuster published the world’s first crossword book – the start of a successful series which continues to this day.
Crosswords have now spread to many countries and to languages as diverse as Hebrew and Japanese. The Arrow Words format featured in this app is known as the Swedish-style or Scandinavian crossword, since it was popularized there. The clues are shown right in the grid squares, making the puzzle convenient to solve – especially on the iPhone and iPad: the next chapter in the history of crosswords.
