Play World's first Crossword
While there are many claims to being the first crossword puzzle, it is the 1913 puzzle that is credited as the first, and thus the journalist, Arthur Wynne, as the inventor.
This puzzle featured many of the same features that we see in crossword puzzles today even though when it was originally published in "The New York World" it was called "word cross".
On this page you can play the first ever crossword puzzle, as it appeared in "The New York World" in digital format.
