Cross Word Puzzles have been run in the -Sunday World for over twenty years and their present nation-wide vogue -had its origin in and received its greatest impetus from the Puzzle -Page of the Sunday World Magazine. The fifty cross word puzzles in this -book are all entirely new and have never been printed before in any -publication. - - - - - - - - - -OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT - - -The original Cross Word Puzzle Books, published by Simon and Schuster, -are the only ones officially endorsed by the Amateur Cross Word Puzzle -League of America and edited in conformity with the rules of cross word -puzzle construction promulgated by the League and printed on page 9 of -this book. - - - - - - - - - -PREFACE - - -Controversy, which is the breath of life to any of the arts or -sciences, has reared its head among the ranks of Cross Word solvers. -The air is filled with ’tis and ’tain’t. The clan is divided into -schools, which is well for the vitality of puzzling. It is undoubtedly -true that a house divided against itself cannot stand; but it is also -veritable that an art divided against itself flourisheth exceedingly. - -The schism that is causing all the noise, reduced to its simplest -terms, is stated in the question, “Shall the Cross Word Puzzle be made -hard or easy?” - -On the one hand stand the pundits, with thesaurus and dictionary armed. -They crave queer words and exotic definitions. They thrill to the -cross-clue unravelling of some strange combination of vowels and -consonants resembling nothing ever uttered by human tongue, but which -their reference-books declare is a genuine word, with meanings and -inflections and everything. They delight in extracting a simple word -from its definition of secondary or tertiary meaning: when “express -generally” is solved as “air” they greet the word so often defined as -“mixture of gases” with cries of delight; “introduce as an antagonist” -is found to be “pit,” and tears of joy are shed over the relief from -the common “hole” or “depression.” - -Thus the solvers who revel in the recondite. Opposed to them stand the -serried ranks of those whose pleasure lies in the accomplishment; who -do not wish their onward march to victory delayed by forests of -Javanese shrubs or oceans full of rajidae with enlarged pectoral fins. -Nor do they wish words torn far from their daily, or at least -semi-weekly, use. A Leer by the river’s brim a simple Sly Glance is to -them, and not an Annealing-furnace. - -A third element enters the lists at this point—the constructors. When a -man has a superb puzzle almost finished, with complete interlock and no -abbreviations or unkeyed letters, he frequently finds a space left into -which nothing will go except a particularly rare combination of -letters—let us say, for example, TIL. The constructor runs hastily -through his vocabulary and finds no TIL; he has a vague recollection of -such a word somewhere in his poetic remembrances; but the familiar -abbreviation of “until” is “till,” and the constructor has no wish to -add the damning parenthesis-enclosed “poet. contr.” after his -definition. He tries all the combinations possible; none will fit. Torn -between despair and hope he seeks Webster’s Unabridged. Trembling -finger runs down the columns. Ah! Between “tikur” and “tilbury,” in -small type, as though ashamed of existence, he finds what he seeks. -“Til—Sesame.” Into the construction goes the word, and the puzzle is -finished. Observe that the constructor had no desire to introduce this -exotic syllable; he did not even know that there was such a word in any -language. If he could have written “tic,” or “tie,” or “tin,” or “tip,” -or “tis,” or “tit,” he would have done so. But “til” was his sole -refuge, and the Unabridged bore him nobly out. Thus, says the -constructor, why should the solver rage when he discovers “sesame” -among the definitions? Let him try to make one himself, etc., etc. - -Returning a moment to the pundits’ side of the argument, observe a -fact. If any solver had been asked, before he took up cross words, to -give offhand the name of Egypt’s sun-god, a three-letter word meaning -island, a four-letter word for handbag, the name of a large Australian -bird, or the sash affected by the ladies of cherry-blossom land, it is -odds but that he would have been reduced to stammering evasions. But -even a tyro at the glorious game can now rattle off by rote the words -Ra, Uit, Etui, Moa, Obi. In running down the definitions of a new -puzzle it is not the household words that set him scribbling -frantically, but such old friends as the above. So, contend the -punditti, a word that may be a nameless horror at the moment becomes -through association a friend in time of trouble. - -True enough, answer the believers in the simplicities, but the -introduction of such words is evidence of laziness on the part of the -constructor. Moreover, their constant use tends to eliminate them, -their places to be taken by other literal monstrosities. And there is -much in this contention. Where now are the Emu and the Eel? Time was, -and not so long ago, that every other construction was the combined -aviary and aquarium necessary to harbor these two; today they are one -with Nineveh and Tyre. And so it may well be with Ra and Uit and Etui. -They will march one by one into the shades where lurk the other gallant -words that died of over-work. And the strange combinations that take -their places will also abide their little hour, and go their way. - -Once again the constructor beats on the table and demands to be heard. -“Where,” he asks, “do I get off? Am I to be barred from including words -that finish my design because a group of you insist that no word not -included in everyday vocabularies appear in the little white squares? -Or am I to suffer under the lash of scorn because a few of you mock my -brilliant construction wherein no exotic letter-combination rears its -head?—a construction that cost me more time than if I had allowed a few -oddities, I may add. What am I to do?” - -“Go as far as you like!” cry the Recondites. - -“Stick to the common words!” insist the Champions of the Plain. - -Of course, these admonitions do not help the constructor in the least. -He is the ham in the verbal sandwich—necessary, but spread rather thin -and squashed flat. It is in the nature of things that this should be -so. No creator has had a different experience. You can please some of -the people, and the rest of it. It is part of the penalty of the -builder to receive criticism. Scarce have the birth-pangs passed when -the child is the storm-center of a tempest of contradictory comment. - -It is, of course, an indeterminable debate. The Simplicities have their -case, as have the Abstrusities. In the meantime, short of erasure and -complete rebirth, the constructor’s pattern remains. For better, for -worse, for easier, for harder, in the pocket edition or the Unabridged, -his words cross and twine all among the blacks and the whites. - -In the meantime, the schism remains. What is to come of it, we know -not. Whatever the decision may be, the constructor will not change his -status. Once a constructor, always between the millstones. - - -Prosper Buranelli -F.

Pattern - - The pattern shall interlock all over. - Only approximately one-sixth of the squares shall be black. - Only approximately one-tenth of the letters shall be unkeyed. - The design shall be symmetrical. - -2. Words - - Obsolete, and dialectic words may be used in moderation, if plainly - marked and accessible in some standard dictionary, such as - Webster’s New International (Merriam’s), Funk & Wagnalls’ and - Century. - Foreign words that are more or less familiar and are easily - accessible, may be used, but should be marked with the language to - which they belong. - Technical terms that are found in a standard dictionary may be - used. - Abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes, should be avoided as far as - possible. When used they should be plainly marked and must be - legitimate. - -3. Definitions - - Great variety may be attained in writing the definitions and as - wide a scope as possible must be left to the constructor. The only - requirement is common sense. This means that the definitions may be - of the safe and sane dictionary kind, may be literary or - historical, may employ secondary meanings cleverly, may be - legitimately funny. Synonyms that are too far removed from the word - and what Gelett Burgess calls “smarty-cat definitions” should be - avoided. - - - - - - - - - -HOW TO SOLVE A CROSS WORD PUZZLE - - -There are two essential points that must be remembered by initiates -into the cross word puzzlers’ fraternity. 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. - - -EXAMPLE - -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 1 | | 2 | 3 | 4 | | 5 | -| | | | | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 6 | | |#####| | -| |#####| | | |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 7 | 8 |#####| |#####| 9 | | -| | |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 10 | | |#####| 11 | | | -| | | |#####| | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 12 | |#####| 13 |#####| 14 | | -| | |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 15 | | 16 |#####| | -| |#####| | | |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 17 | | | | | | | -| | | | | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - - Fig. 1 - -DEFINITIONS - -Horizontal Vertical - - 1 Disparage 1 Evolve - 6 Cereal grass 2 Toward - 7 Abbr.

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 | -| | | | | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 6 | | |#####| | -| |#####| O | A | T |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 7 | 8 |#####| |#####| 9 | | -| V | A |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 10 | | |#####| 11 | | | -| | | |#####| | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 12 | |#####| 13 |#####| 14 | | -| L | O |#####| |#####| | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| |#####| 15 | | 16 |#####| | -| |#####| | | |#####| | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 17 | | | | | | | -| | | | | | | | -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ - - Fig. 2 - - -+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+ -| 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 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. 101 - -A CHRISTMAS TREE - -By Moby Dick - - -This Christmas tree is a tour de force in consecutive two-letter words. -Even the veriest beginner should finish it in a half hour, for the -words are all fair and should come to mind immediately.
