What is Crossword Puzzle Day?
On December 21st, Crossword Puzzle Day celebrates the birth of a popular word game enjoyed by millions around the world.
In children's books and other journals, Printers published the first crossword puzzles in England. They were simple word games derived from word squares, where letters were arranged in a square so that the letters read the same both up and down.
Using the clues provided, the object of a crossword puzzle is to fill up the white spaces of a grid with the correct words. Individual words are separated by black spaces in black spaces. The clues to more difficult puzzles look like riddles, making the game more difficult.
Many people are raving over the benefits of crossword puzzles. Not only are they fun, but challenging crossword puzzles can help reduce dementia's effects or sharpen the brain for problem-solving. They can also increase vocabulary and even relieve the mind from the day's tense by focusing on something other than worldly problems.
