Again I try - To catch the shattered magic of my tale. - I find my place. Again with Jim I sail - Upon the tropic sea. My wife says “My, - What pronoun in three letters starts with Y?” - - Calmly I rise and search about the place - To find a weapon of sufficient weight. - Aha! Upon our wall an ancient mace, - Studded with knobs of steel. The very thing. - I seize it, and with easy, graceful swing - Wallop my darling wife upon the pate, - The sconce or bean, or dome, or what you will. - Silent she tumbles headlong in the grate. - I take my book and leisurely resume - My tale, and peace and quiet fill the room. - - - From F.P.A.’s Conning Tower - in The New York World - - - - - - - - - -THE CROSS WORD PUZZLE BOOK - - -CONFESSIONS OF A CROSS WORD PUZZLE EDITOR - - -When I was first made unwilling Cross Word Puzzle Editor some two years -ago, the procedure in deciding what puzzle would be run was limited to -picking out a good-looking one from among the bunch and sending it -upstairs to be set. I saw no reason to change this splendid system. At -that time, I had never taken the trouble to do a puzzle and the letters -of anathema and condemnation that came in by the dozens had small -effect on my conscience. They were evidently from cranks and couldn’t -be avoided. - -I must admit that the dawning of conscience began with the arrival of -F.P.A., who came to work in the next room. When he discovered that I -was responsible for the cross words, he formed the atrocious habit of -stalking in every Monday morning bright and early (about eleven -o’clock) to point out to me in sarcastic tones just what was wrong with -yesterday’s. Well, to make a long story short, in order to avoid the -moronish feeling that usually followed such a lecture, I decided to -reform and find out what a really decent puzzle was like. - -I began by trying to do one the next Sunday, and thus experienced the -throes of acute agony that come to all solvers of puzzles on -discovering definitions left out, numbers wrong, hideously warped -definitions, words not to be found inside of any known dictionary, -foreign words—very foreign—and words that had no right to be dragged -out of their native obscurity. Then and there, with my left hand -reposing on a dictionary and my right raised in air, I took an oath to -edit the cross words to the essence of perfection. From then on, I -instituted the procedure of doing the puzzles myself on the page -proof—sort of trying it on the dog—applying the principle, - - - “If it be not fair to me, - What care I how fair it be!” - - -Since that momentous day, F.P.A.’s visits have grown less frequent—in -fact, he has to make up excuses to come in and converse on other -matters—and the cross words even came in for an occasional bouquet in -Sam Pepys’s diary. So now you all know whom to thank for the perfection -(more or less) of the cross word puzzle found each Sunday on the World -Magazine’s Ingenuities Page. - - - Margaret Petherbridge - - - - - - - -HOW TO SOLVE THEM - - -Solving a cross word puzzle offers numerous enjoyments of which the -uninitiated are ignorant. There is the pure esthetic stimulation of -looking at the pattern with its neat black and white squares, like a -floor in a cathedral or a hotel bathroom; there is the challenge of the -definitions, titillating the combative ganglion that lurks in all of -us; there is the tantalizing elusiveness of the one little word that -will satisfactorily fill a space and give clues to others that we know -not of; and there is the thrill of triumph as the right word is found, -fitted, and its attendant branches and roots spring into being. No -better illustration could be used than a recent brilliant construction -of Mr. Gelett Burgess, published in the Sunday World Magazine. - -Consider the solver as he faces his problem. The numbers in the -squares, he knows, refer to the definitions; in the system of numbering -used in this book, the first letters only are indicated by numbers. -Thus 1 horizontal means a word that will fill the space following the -figure up to the next black square. - - - Horizontal +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 1 | 2 | 3 | | 4 |#####| - 1 Lowest form of life | | | | | |#####| - 12 Product of coal or pine +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - 18 Opponent | 12 | | |#####| | - | | | |#####| | - Vertical +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 18 | | | 20 | |#####| - 1 Gustated | | | | | |#####| - 2 Divine nourishment +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - 3 Before |#####| |#####| |#####| - 4 Indefinite number |#####| |#####| |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 30 | | 32 | | 33 |#####| - | | | | | |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| - |#####| - +-----+ - - -The solver, then, looks the puzzle over. Aha! a friend. 12 horizontal, -three letters long—“product of coal or pine.” Triumphantly the solver -writes TAR in the spaces and proceeds with this clue. 2 Vertical is -defined as “Divine Nourishment.” It links with TAR at the second -letter. A moment of thought and MANNA appears as the only possible -solution. He turns to 1 vertical, the second letter of which is the -first of 12 horizontal—T. The definition is “gustated,” and the word is -of three letters. Why hesitate? ATE goes into the space. “A cinch!” -reflects the solver, and joyously writes ENEMY in 18 horizontal, -defined as “Opponent.” 3 vertical is defined as “Before,” and with -RE -staring him in the face he would be dull indeed who did not write ERE. -And now 1 horizontal stands revealed. “Lowest form of life,” eh? AMEBA -goes down. 4 vertical is “Indefinite number.” Well, A-Y cannot be -anything but ANY—and there is the corner complete, with three clues to -the words in other sections. - - - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 1 | 2 | 3 | | 4 |#####| - | A | M | E | B | A |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 12 | | |#####| | - | T | A | R |#####| N | - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 18 | | | 20 | |#####| - | E | E | E | M | Y |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| |#####| |#####| - |#####| N |#####| |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | 30 | | 32 | | 33 |#####| - | | A | | | |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| - |#####| - +-----+ - - -So far the sailing has been fairly easy. But trouble waits just around -the corner. There are other definitions which are not so simple as -“product of coal or pine.” In the far reaches of the puzzle to which -the above corner belongs may be found such definitions as “Vexation -(Provincial British),” “Humorous figure of speech,” “One-sided -headaches” and “Droning dung-beetles.” Is the solver prepared to state -that he can fill the spaces represented by those words without the -assistance of the linked horizontals or verticals? - -It is here that one of the greatest charms of the crossword puzzle -lies: the discovery of new words by the process of building them, -though entirely ignorant of their actual spelling. Consider another -portion of Mr. Burgess’ puzzle. The construction of the provincial form -of “Vexation” and “Humorous figure of speech” fortunately come in -juxtaposition; they illustrate at once the vocabulary-building feature -of the cross word puzzle and a constructional weakness which may lead -to non-solution. - -The definitions surrounding this precious pair are as follows: -Horizontal, “Series of games,” “Self,” “Means of sustenance,” and -“Surface of fibres”; Vertical, “Drinking vessel” and “Body of cavalry.” -When these words are solved one finds: - - - +-----+ - |#####| - |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| |#####| - |#####| |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| | | |#####| - |#####| S | E | T |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| | | | | |#####| - |#####| | T | U | R | |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - | |#####| | | |#####| | - | |#####| E | G | O |#####| | - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| | | | | | | |#####| - |#####| A | L | I | M | O | N | Y |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - |#####| | | |#####| - |#####| N | A | P |#####| - +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - - -Now the unfortunate part of it is that the section is completed; there -are no more clues, and if one does not know what the humorous figure of -speech is and what the British provincialism is, there is no way of -discovering them aside from the use of deduction. A little thinking -will show that the first letter of the provincialism is more likely to -be “S” than any other letter, and a short search in the dictionary will -give “Sturm” as the answer; while as for -EUGMA, a brief running -through the alphabet will so limit the possibilities that a very short -search will reveal ZEUGMA as correct. - -It is extremely difficult, in the construction of cross word puzzles, -to avoid the use of such “unkeyed” letters, and effort has been used to -ensure the presence of common words where more than one letter is -unkeyed; but the exigencies of construction will not always allow this. -Nor should it always be done; allowance must be made for erudition on -the part of the solver. When such a construction appears as S-ALE-E, -defined as “Unequal sided and angled” and with all clues exhausted, it -is with a warm sensation of culture that one triumphantly fills the -blanks with “C” and “N.” And the same thrill is present when “One-sided -headaches,” standing clueless with M-GRI-S, is properly filled in to -become MEGRIMS. - -Thus is the solution achieved; in part by the science of deduction, in -part by mother-wit, in part by erudition; appeals to as many as -possible of the lobes of the brain. There is no nobler satisfaction -than the fitting in of the last word that makes the pattern complete; -one rises to lyric heights in the contemplation of the evolution of -such a word as one enthusiastic constructor included in his design, the -definition of which was “Parallel pairs of simulacra in echinoideans.” -The cross-constructions showed BIVIA as the necessary filler and the -vocabularies of the solvers were enriched by an addition of high -esthetic value and utter incomprehensibility, to be used as occasion -demands. - -The cross word solver becomes a collector, a connoisseur of words. They -lose, to him, their mundane purpose of a suitable medium for the -exchange of thoughts, and take on an esoteric significance, akin to the -appeal of slip-ware to the collector of pottery or the three-cornered -Mauritius to the philatelist. He and Hamlet are one. “Words, words, -words”—except that he has the advantage of the melancholy one. Hamlet’s -words ran in decorous file, one after the other; the solver’s twine and -intertwine, each leading to others, resulting in a harmonious whole -unapproached by any except the masterpieces of classic literature. - - - -It is generally conceded that as a form of amusement, cross words are -very instructive, and that as a form of instruction, they are very -amusing. The first thing that strikes the eye is the pattern in which -the words are intermingled. Our experience teaches that an all-over -interlock is an absolute necessity, and except in a few cases you will -find that the puzzles in this book possess this quality. The advantages -are obvious; when all the words interlock, you can check up the -horizontal by the vertical, and vice versa. - -Occasional stunt patterns are interesting, but as a general thing they -are apt to detract from the value of a puzzle as a thing to be solved. - -The numbering system used to be quite intricate and took up a lot of -precious space. It required two numbers to each definition. On July 22, -1923, at the suggestion of an ardent puzzler who calls himself -“Radical,” we offered the new system of numbering, which calls for only -one number to a definition. It is quite simple to read either -horizontally or vertically from one number, and forms a decided -improvement over the old style. “Radical” deserves a special vote of -thanks. All the puzzles in this book use the new system of numbering. - -As for the words that find their way into cross words, strange as it -may seem with the whole of the dictionary to choose from, the same old -favorites have a way of recurring ceaselessly. Of course, all the two -letter words are overworked, and many have to compromise on -abbreviations. Our sole objection to abbreviations is that they cannot -be defined without practically telling what they are. Parts of the verb -“to be”; prepositions; the Egyptian Sun God, Ra; Pi, em, ma, pa, i.e., -e.g., so, to, go, do, are to be found in almost every cross word -puzzle, and the solver gets heartily tired of them. So the better -patterns avoid these two word spaces. The three letters words contain -some old favorites, too. Eel, emu and gnu are among the most popular. -It seems that almost nine-tenths of the puzzles we look at have a -“snake-like fish” wriggling in them somewhere. And who hasn’t found -err, sin, and erg; cam, moa, tar; pal, ode, née, ace, e’er, o’er, sac; -lee and lea; ape and pea; ego, ago and age; era and eon; Eli and spa; -and all the notes of the scale from do to do. Truly, all these words -are to the puzzler as buttons are to a shirt. - -Among the longer words, the rule seems to hold that words with -alternating consonants and vowels can be used more frequently than -others. It is evident that a word containing three consecutive -consonants, for instance, may have to take, in the word just below it, -three consecutive vowels—and who hasn’t heard the cross-word -constructor asking plaintively for a seven-letter word beginning with -e-a-o and ending with u? Among the much-used words, you’ll surely find -opera, onus, tenor, estop, used, ameer, renal, depot, emit, cabal, -item, sere, lunar, nacre, neve, apse and the rest. - - - F. Gregory Hartswick - - - - - - - - - -THE SCIENCE AND LORE OF CROSS WORD PUZZLES - - -Everyone knows the classic Riddle of the Sphinx: what is it that walks -on four legs in the morning, on two at noon and on three in the -evening? the answer being man, who goes on hands and knees in infancy, -with bipedal locomotion in after years, and in old age with a cane. - -The posing of such riddles was an important affair with ancient -peoples. It was a tradition of the archaic Scandinavians, among whom it -shows clear literary relations. Thus, the riddle—what is the name of -the horse that flies with upright wings across the sea, the answer -being ship—becomes the metaphor, of a type common in the Sagas—the -upright-winged horse of the sea. - -Old forms of writing take on puzzle forms. In the Maya hieroglyphics of -Central America is found an element similar to the mechanism of the -rebus. It is as though the symbol meaning “hair” in juxtaposition with -the one meaning “ring,” might mean “hair and ring” or it might mean -herring. This makes the decipherment of the Maya writing so very -difficult for modern scholars. The old fashioned charade has rebus-like -elements. Cryptography, of course, must have begun in the earliest -times when a literate man had a secret message to convey. The most -recondite systems of hidden writing have been devised both for -practical use and literary fantasy, remembering only Poe’s ingenious -speculations. Much of the “Baconian Theory” has revolved around -supposed cryptography in Shakespeare. - -Ancient and medieval folk were much given to anagrams; that is, to -phrases of related meanings and made up of the same letters—as the -masterpiece, “They see,” answer “The eyes,” or “Honor est a Nilo,” -answer “Horatio Nelson.” Into theological controversy came such -damnations as this: The Calvinistic opponents of Jacobus Arminius -rearranged the letters of his name to spell, “vani orbis -amicus,”—“friend of the false world.” - -A recent “Baconian” argument based itself on an anagrammatical -treatment of the long dedication of the sonnets. The author rearranged -the letters of the dedication to form a statement that it was Lord -Bacon who had written the verse. An experienced puzzler might object -that he could rearrange the numerous letters to spell out a statement -of almost anything, that he would rearrange the letters that make up -Aristotle’s Poetics into a treatise proving that when the Democrats are -in office hard times come. Similar to the anagram in principle is the -transposition, in which you fill blanks in a text with words that are -made up of the same letters; for instance, angered, enraged, derange. - -Of ancient glory, too, is the palindrome, which is properly not a -puzzle at all, but an ingenuity. A palindrome reads the same backward -and forward, as in the familiar “Madam, I’m Adam,” and “Able was I ere -I saw Elba.” Perhaps the most charming of antique palindromes is the -Roman legal maxim, “Si nummi immunis,”—“if you pay you go free.” - -But perhaps the most fascinating of all word puzzles are the types in -which words are to be guessed from definitions. There is the well-known -acrostic, where with definitions as clues you arrive at a set of words -of which the initial letters, or finals or second letters or third, as -may have been determined, will spell another or other words. During the -struggle for Italian freedom an acrostic was seen in the shibboleth, -Vittorio Emmanuele Re D’Italia, giving the name of the composer, Verdi. -Most august of all is the fish symbol for Christ, which was held in -much mystic veneration in the early Christian centuries. The Greek word -for fish, Ichthys (Ιχθυς) was seen to be composed of the first letters -of the sacred phrase, Iesous Christos Theou Huios Soter (Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς -Θεοῦ Υἱὸς Σῷτήρ), meaning “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.” - -It is the feature of determining words from definitions that has made -“word forms” the most popular genus of puzzle. A word form is a set of -words arranged one under the other so that their letters may be read -across and down to give sensible readings, sometimes the same readings -across and down and sometimes different readings. They may be of many -geometric configurations, as square, pyramid, octagon, etc. Their -origin is lost in the mists of time. - -Word forms, especially squares, have a considerable following of very -skillful adepts, most of them members of the National Puzzlers’ League, -who construct and solve them with the same sort of devotion that a -chess player demonstrates toward chess. Among such the forms take the -most learned guise and consist of the most unusual sort of words. With -the adepts any word that has ever been printed in an English book is -allowable, and thus there is a great selection of exotic words in -various spellings from old gazetteers, books of travel, etc. The adept -delights in words that no one has ever heard of before. Here are -several examples of recondite ingenuities. - - - By Mentor, in The Enigma - - M A L E G A G E S - A D E N O C E L E - L E U C A E M I C - E N C O R T I N E - G O A R L I N G S - A C E T I F I E S - G E M I N I A N I - E L I N G E N I O - S E C E S S I O N - - - By Gemini, in The Enigma - - V - R E S - I O N S - I N S E R T S - R O S E T R E E S - V E N E T I A N R E D - S E R R A T I O N - S T E N I O N - S E R O N - S E N - D - - - By Neophyte, in the Sunday Magazine, New York World - - Z I K R H O O D - I X I A O L L A - K I W I O L I D - R A I D Y A D A D O - Y U G A - A G N I - L E W D A I S U S U - E R I A U N I T - W I L L S I V A - D A L I U T A S - - - By Alec Sander, in The Enigma - - T - C A L - K A R A T - R A S E T E S - B A L A N I S M S - C O M M U T A T I N G - C O N T A B U L A T I O N - G A S T E R O L I C H E N E S - P E N T A G O N A S T E R I D A E - - -The great public following goes to the Cross Word Puzzle, which is an -expanded word form in which, commonly, only dictionary words are -allowed. It is this simplicity of words, together with its larger and -more elaborate construction, that makes it irresistible to the casual -puzzler. A cross word square, or other geometric figure, is a logical -modern development of the ancient word square. The insertion of black -spaces permits it to be made of any size and gives an interesting -variety of inner construction. - -The cross word puzzle began its career only a few decades back. It was -run for many years in the Sunday Magazine of the New York World and has -held a considerable and steady group of followers. Recently it has come -into a sudden great vogue and is being printed by many newspapers and -magazines throughout the country. Cross word puzzles are now published -for the first time in book form. - - - Prosper Buranelli - - - - - - - - - -DO’S AND DON’T’S FOR SOLVERS - - -Don’t get scared if you can’t guess the first horizontal word. Go -through the list till you find a definition that you’re sure of. That -is the simplest method of beginning the solution. When you have written -in all the words you are sure of you will have plenty of clues for the -unknowns. - -Don’t spend too much time with the long words unless you are sure of -them. They will appear when the short ones have been solved. Of course, -not all the short ones are easy, but they are generally more readily -attended to than the long ones. Also, there are more of them, -increasing the chances of finding familiar faces among the definitions. - -If you think a word is right, pencil it in lightly till you are sure. -This saves erosion of paper and temper. But never hesitate to try a -word that may be right. The trial and error method holds in puzzling as -it does in life. - -Remember that the horizontals furnish a sure check on the verticals, -and vice versa. - -If you are hopelessly stuck, try another puzzle. Inspiration sometimes -waits for a return engagement. - -A pleasant feeling of something attempted, something done accompanies -the solution of a cross word puzzle. It’s good for the inferiority -complex. - - - - - - - - - -PUZZLE NO. 1 - -A SOFT BEGINNING - -By Gregorian - - -The two long central words, if solved at once, will give sufficient -clues to permit of rapid solution. But should these prove elusive, -surely such definitions as 9 horizontal and 29 vertical offer no -difficulties.
