On Dec. 21, 1913, the Sunday New York World printed a puzzle called a “word-cross,” devised by Liverpudlian Arthur Wynne. The puzzle was an immediate success and became a weekly feature. The name evolved into the more euphonious “cross-word,” and finally, the hyphen was dropped. Despite the success, the World was the only paper printing the puzzles until 1924 when a fledgling publishing house put out a collection of the World’s puzzles in book form. A craze was launched, along with the publishing company of Simon & Schuster.
