The crossword puzzle is born, a universal word game

Source of information and culture, as part of our life, newspapers are also fun. This is how Arthur Wynne saw it when on Sunday, December 21, 1913, he published in his newspaper, the New York World, a game inspired by the magic square that his grandmother taught him. She called it a crossword puzzle. The crossword puzzle was born, which soon achieved great success and was emulated by other newspapers and publications. Based on the success of his invention, Wynne asked his boss if it was worth patenting. The editor, displaying a great sense of smell, recommended that he not spend the money on that “fad.” So the journalist didn't see a single cent. Considered the most universal mental exercise pastime, its perpetuation is guaranteed by its triumphant presence on the Internet.
