In -New York it sprang into immediate popularity, becoming there a best -seller within a fortnight. A small but ardent group of cross word -puzzle devotees gave the fad a running start. Among these pioneers may -be mentioned F. P. A., Montague Glass, Neysa McMein, Emily Price Post, -Baird Leonard, Ruth Hale, Gelett Burgess, Robert C. Benchley, Hendrik -Willem Van Loon, Kathleen and Charles G. Norris, Mary Roberts Rinehart, -and Carolyn Wells. - -Cross word puzzling became the thing to do, the raging topic of -conversation, supplanting Coué, Mah Jong, and Bananas (first a -slogan—now a fact!). With this impetus, the pastime’s popularity -radiated to other cities, and within a month the Cross Word Puzzle Book -was ranked No. 4 on the national list of non-fiction best sellers. -Three weeks later it advanced to third place, and the following month -jumped into the lead, where it appears to remain indefinitely. - -First a fad, then a best seller, the Cross Word Puzzle Book became an -American institution, immortalized in cartoons by Briggs, prose-epics -by Bob Benchley, and ballads by F. P. A. - -Ordinary books are meant to be read. Here is a book in which one -writes—more than that, a book in which one has the supreme satisfaction -of unravelling a real mystery, tracking down clue after clue. This, no -doubt, is the secret of the irresistible fascination of Cross Word -Puzzling. Every one enjoys being an amateur Sherlock Holmes—and the -tantalizing black-and-white word patterns provide an ideal -battle-ground for one’s detective instincts. - -This deep-rooted appeal explains the extraordinary popularity of the -book. When we announced in one of our early advertisements that “people -do not want this book—they crave it!” we had actual proof to support -this statement—frenzied fans storming the publishers’ office to get -extra copies in order “to keep peace in the house.” - -Six weeks after the publication of the first Cross Word Puzzle Book—May -18th, to be precise—the Cross Word Puzzle Association of America was -formed at a convention at the Hotel Ambassador, New York. At this -congress the rules and regulations of Cross Word Puzzling were -formulated. A contest for the cross word puzzle championship of the -world was held, and William A. Stern II won first honors, solving a -standard eleven-square formation in 10 minutes, 10 and two-fifths -seconds. Mr. Stern has written a preface for this book, explaining the -delights of cross word puzzling, for both novice and veteran. - -Thus, in the words of Neal O’Hara, America began to gasp for words. The -Cross Word Puzzle became the Great Escape from Boredom—the most -powerful enemy of ennui.... - -Not only entertainment and thrills, but sound instruction reward the -true Cross Word Puzzler. Here is the most delightful and the most -effective way of building up one’s vocabulary and enriching one’s -general fund of information. Dictionaries and synonym books joined the -best seller list, right behind The Cross Word Puzzle Book itself, for -every one, to obtain the maximum benefit and fun, must have a -dictionary or a word book handy. - -The pencil and eraser provided with The Cross Word Puzzle Book proved -to be a most popular feature. Post cards for applying for the correct -answers to the puzzles also pleased the followers of the pastime. This -equipment, therefore, is retained in the Second Series. The suggestion -has been made that future editions of the book be equipped with -shock-absorbers and four-wheel brakes. - -Thousands of puzzle enthusiasts have indicated their eagerness for this -second series of cross words. This book, like the first volume, is -edited and compiled by the Cross Word Puzzle Editors of the New York -World, the undisputed leaders of the gentle art. Every effort has been -made to safeguard the technical perfection of the puzzles. This time -they are arranged in the order of their difficulty, beginning with -fairly easy ones, and ranging to the most intricate formations, -calculated to baffle Houdini himself. Beauty of design, accuracy of -definition, complete interlock, and the minimum number of unkeyed -letters—these elements have all been considered in selecting the -puzzles. We are confident that they will prove as absorbing, as -entertaining,—yes, as exciting,—as the first fifty. - - -The Publishers. - - - - - - - - -PREFACE - -By William A. Stern, 2nd Cross Word Puzzle Champion of the World - - -Two years ago I saw a friend of mine earnestly studying a checkered -diagram in the magazine section of a Sunday newspaper. Curiosity -impelled me to ask him whether he had taken up cross-stitching, because -the pattern he so zealously pored over resembled closely that of an -old-fashioned sampler. When he explained that he was attempting to -solve a puzzle I laughed, because in my ignorance I believed that -puzzles were childish time-wasters. I snorted my disdain at this sort -of balderdash and, angered, he challenged me to try my hand at it. - -I confidently predicted that I would easily solve the foolish enigma -and after he had explained the manner of solution I set to work. A few -minutes later I started asking questions. What was one supposed to do? -My friend explained a second time and I was all at sea. Finally I -understood what to do, but was shaky on how to do it. I finished that -puzzle the next day. I gave little thought to food and rest; in the end -I triumphed. - -Since that time I have solved many cross word puzzles but on none have -I consumed as much time as on that first heart-breaker. I used to blame -my slowness on the fact that the method was never properly explained, -but I now believe that my friend who gave me my first cross word -baptism was an adequate instructor. The chief difficulty which the -uninitiate meets lies in the struggle to concentrate on the -explanation. In their simplest terms here are the rules and technique -of cross word puzzling: - -The primary object of the game is to fill up the blank spaces in a -cross word design with letters which spell out words. The solver -guesses the words from their definitions. By looking at a pattern we -can tell how many letters are in a word to be guessed. Suppose, for -example, you were asked for a six letter word meaning unsteady. You -would go through all the synonyms for unsteady that you could recall. -You would discard unstable, shaky, tipsy, tottering and rocky because -none of these words has the proper number of letters. You would accept -groggy or fickle. Now apply this system to the solution of a puzzle. - -The definitions of the words are shown in two divisions: one division -is captioned Horizontal, the other Vertical. Before each definition is -a number which indicates that the word defined has its first letter in -the square of the same number on the pattern. For example, in the -puzzle on the jacket of this book (which is Number 1 in the book -itself), we see under Horizontal, “1. stout.” This means that the word -is read horizontally and starts in the space numbered “1” on the -pattern. The answer is “plump.” - -A word always runs from its first letter to a black square or to the -end of the diagram. Having the word “plump” written in, we now have -hints of a certain letter in each of four other words, because each of -the letters in this word, except the letter “L,” is used to form a word -which is read downwards. Under the heading Vertical may be found the -definitions of the words which read downwards. So we see that the -letters in plump are used in the words prove, up, map, and plant. The -letter “L” is called in cross word parlance an unkeyed letter because -it does not give the solver a key to another word. Well constructed -puzzles have few unkeyed letters. You will notice also that all the -words in the puzzle are joined together or interlocked so that after -guessing the first word the solver may decode the entire puzzle without -once being minus a hint of some sort. - -I do not mean to infer that these puzzles must be so constructed that -the solver has a simple task. An object of crosswording is to puzzle, -but fairness to a hard working puzzler dictates certain laws for the -designer to follow. The first of these laws is the all-over interlock. -The second is that in obsolete, rare, and unfamiliar words no letter -should be unkeyed. - -And now a few words as to technique. Of course I prefer my own method -to any other, but I do not claim for it greater merit than the systems -I will tell you about. When I get a puzzle to solve, my first move is -to read all the definitions. Among these I am sure to find some -familiar and overworked words which I can set into place and be off to -a flying start. Certain simple three letter words such as bog, fen, -pen, boa, emu, and roc, and other words in which vowels pre-dominate -such as opera and arena are used in hundreds of puzzles. I get these -out of the way in short order. My next move is to start working on that -part of the puzzle where I have filled in the largest number of words, -because it is there that I have the greatest number of hints. If I -strike a snag I immediately take up my work in some other place. And so -I work my way around to completion. - -Some people obtain excellent results by another method. They first do -all the horizontal words which quickly come to mind. And then all the -vertical. Thus they get an excellent start from which to work. Some -solvers use the system of building up from the first word which they -can guess. - -Just a few words of warning: - -First—Beware of putting in certain words whose definitions do not -accurately define. Parts of the verb “to be,” personal pronouns, -exclamations, notes of the scale, prefixes, suffixes and prepositions -should not be filled in unless an interlocking word gives you a hint as -to what they are. They are so numerous that without a hint it is futile -to attempt to guess them. - -Second—Beware of homonyms. A homonym is two words which have the same -sound, but have different meanings. The best illustration of a homonym -appeared in F. P. A.’s column, the Conning Tower, a few years ago. -According to my feeble memory the sentence ran, “If I should say that -you are prone to carp, I would not mean that you are lying face -downward to a deep sea fish.” How often does the solver struggle over -such a definition as “light,” believing all the while that he must find -a word meaning an illuminant, when the correct word is “airy”! - -Third—Beware of sloppy printing and careless erasing. When you write in -a word, letter neatly. Do not make a P look like an R. And when you -find it necessary to erase be sure to obliterate every letter. Dangling -characters which rubber crumbs have failed to pick up have cost so many -wasted hours that experts in efficiency have taken up the matter in -executive session. - -Whatever method you employ or whatever mistakes you make, you will reap -pleasure and profit for your time. You will increase your vocabulary, -give yourself mental discipline, and, above all, you’ll have fun. - -I want to thank the Plaza Publishing Company, whose real name is Simon -and Schuster, for its work in getting out these Cross Word Puzzle -Books. Most of the puzzles are of the first rank and the variety of -design is amazing. In fact I feel so kindly toward the publishers that -I do not upbraid them for the time they made me lose by a few errata in -the first edition, which they promptly corrected in the later editions. -I can heartily congratulate any owner of this Cross Word Puzzle Book -and all the Cross Word Puzzle Books to follow on the days of real -pleasure that lie before him. - - -William A.

First, the numbers in the -squares refer to the definitions; secondly, there should be but one -letter to each white square. - -Figure 1 shows a cross word puzzle challenging each and every one of us -to solve it. Looking the puzzle over we find that 1 horizontal calls -for a seven letter word meaning “disparage.” That is not so easy, so we -leave it temporarily. We go on to the next one, which is a three letter -word meaning “a cereal grass.” What else could it be but OAT? Therefore -we ink in OAT in the proper squares. “Vice Admiral.” That most -assuredly must be VA. We place that into position. The ninth, tenth and -eleventh do not come to our minds immediately, so we pass them up. We -will catch them on the cross check. Twelve is familiar, however, and -with a little thought we place LO in the vacant squares. The rest do -not come to us, so we leave them also, and turn to the verticals. - - -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 1 | | 2 | 3 | 4 | | 5 | -| | | | | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 6 | | |#####| | -| |#####| O | A | T |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 7 | 8 |#####| |#####| 9 | | -| V | A |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 10 | | |#####| 11 | | | -| | | |#####| | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 12 | |#####| 13 |#####| 14 | | -| L | O |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 15 | | 16 |#####| | -| |#####| | | |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 17 | | | | | | | -| | | | | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - - Fig. 2 - -Looking over the diagram (See Figure 2) we find that one vertical calls -for a seven letter word whose third and fifth letters are V and L -respectively and which is defined as “evolve.” The V and the L give us -the clue. The word is DEVELOP. We place it in the diagram. Two, three -and four are easy, for we have three clues to work on and we find the -proper words without much difficulty. The next one is beyond us, so we -go on to the one numbered 8. We find that a three letter word—starting -with A—meaning “gone by,” is needed. The clues of A and O enable us to -get that without much trouble, and we place AGO in the square. We pass -by nine, but thirteen is easy. “A male sheep?” Why, of course, the word -is RAM. - -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 1 | | 2 | 3 | 4 | | 5 | -| D | | T | R | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 6 | | |#####| | -| E |#####| O | A | T |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 7 | 8 |#####| |#####| 9 | | -| V | A |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 10 | | |#####| 11 | | | -| E | G | |#####| | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 12 | |#####| 13 |#####| 14 | | -| L | O |#####| R |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 15 | | 16 |#####| | -| O |#####| | A | |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 17 | | | | | | | -| P | | | M | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - - Fig. 3 - -From now on the going is easy. We have plenty of clues to the words -that we do not know. (See Figure 3.) Rechecking the horizontals, we -find that we have the first, third, fourth and fifth letters of -“disparage,” and with their aid we easily see that the word is DETRACT. -Looking for a two letter word meaning “an edge-tool,” we soon find that -there is but one word that will fit. We place AX in position. With nine -vertical beginning with an A it is easy to find that ARE is the proper -word. Ten horizontal proves to be EGG and eleven becomes ART. We say to -ourselves that if we could only get five vertical we would have the -puzzle solved. Well, why not? Is the second letter an a, e, i, o, or u? -The definition gives it as “a web.” What word will fit but TEXTURE? We -place that into position. Now, we find that we have the puzzle almost -completed. Fifteen horizontal needs a three letter word meaning -“impair.” Its middle letter must be an A. With the A to guide us that -is simple. The word is “SAP.” Fifteen and sixteen being two letter -words are easily found, and we place SO and PI into position. We now -find that we have the puzzle completed with one exception. Seventeen -horizontal has to be found. Its first, third, fourth, fifth and seventh -letters are P OMI E. A consonant is needed for the second letter, and R -seems to be the most logical choice. That gives us the word, which is -defined as “agreement.” (See Figure 4.) - -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 1 | | 2 | 3 | 4 | | 5 | -| D | E | T | R | A | C | T | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 6 | | |#####| | -| E |#####| O | A | T |#####| E | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 7 | 8 |#####| |#####| 9 | | -| V | A |#####| T |#####| A | X | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 10 | | |#####| 11 | | | -| E | G | G |#####| A | R | T | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 12 | |#####| 13 |#####| 14 | | -| L | O |#####| R |#####| E | U | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 15 | | 16 |#####| | -| O |#####| S | A | P |#####| R | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 17 | | | | | | | -| P | R | O | M | I | S | E | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - - Fig. 4 - -We settle back into our chair with a sigh of content at the thought of -a job well done. But that is not the finish. Rather it is but the -start. Now that we have tasted the pleasures of cross word puzzling, we -are loath to give our time to anything else. What other amusement -offers the pleasure, instruction and satisfaction that is to be found -in Cross Word Puzzles? There is but one answer to that question, -and—foregoing the movies—we settle down to the elusive task of tracking -words to their lairs. - - - - - - - - -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 spent 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. 51 - -MADE IN A RATHSKELLER - -A Duet - - -Two of the editors went out to lunch one hot day, with this result.
