According to TIME Magazine<\/a>, Crossword puzzles were invented by Arthur Wynne, an editor at the New York World. <\/em>The puzzles became an escape from the otherwise depressing news of World War I.<\/p><\/div>

Believe it or not, the New York Times<\/em> resisted adding these new word games to their publication. They even went as far as publishing editorials against <\/em><\/strong>Crosswords.  It wasn't until February 15, 1942 that the first Times <\/em>Crossword was published.  But, they insisted that it must be the best in the nation!<\/p>

In the interest of helping our readers add a little fun to their workday, Dave created this Crossword Puzzle.  Click on the image to link to a printable Google Doc.<\/p><\/div>
