Crossword Puzzle Tips and Trivia
Pay attention to plurals and tenses
If a clue has a plural noun, the clue will likely be plural as well. Similarly, if a clue is in the past tense (gave, made, etc.), the answer will also be in the past tense. It’s common to get confused if you think you know the answer but it won’t fit in the box. Try adding an “s” to the answer if it’s supposed to be the plural form of the word.
Originally the crossword puzzle was called “Word-Cross”
When Arthur Wynne created the first crossword puzzle he actually called it “Word-Cross”. However, a printing error caused the hyphen to be dropped out and the word positions swapped. The new name “CrossWord” stuck and we still call it that to this day.
