FACT: 2013 is the 100th anniversary of the crossword puzzle. On December 21, 1913, Arthur Wynne, a journalist from Liverpool, England, published a "word-cross" puzzle in the New York World that embodied most of the features of the genre as we know it. This puzzle is frequently cited as the first crossword puzzle, and Wynne as the inventor. Later, the name of the puzzle was changed to "crossword"
DID YOU KNOW?
In 1944, Allied security officers were disturbed by the appearance, in a series of crosswords in The Daily Telegraph, of words that were secret code names for military operations planned as part of Operation Overlord. "Utah" (the code name for one of the landing sites) appeared in a puzzle on May 2, 1944. Subsequent puzzles included the landing site "Omaha" and "Mulberry"; the secret artificial harbors.
On June 2, four days before the invasion, the puzzle included both "Neptune" (the naval operations plan) and "Overlord". The author of the puzzles, a schoolteacher named Leonard Dawe, was interviewed. The investigators concluded that the appearance of the words was not an attempt to pass messages.

Comments on Newspaper Crossword Puzzles for Android
★★★★☆Brian Pittman· Jul 9, 2025
I like the app. It's clean and easy to play with a lot of puzzles. Alas it won't load on either of my Boox devices, so it's not going work for me. Fix that, and I'd gladly pay for the app again
★★★★★Squirrel Friend· Apr 18, 2026
Thank you for this! I've been desperately waiting for a Shorty for the phone. I'm so glad to have any kind of working version that users actual newspaper crosswords. I'm looking forward to seeing where this app goes.
★★★★★Ryan Riegner· Sep 17, 2025
My favorite crossword app was discontinued several years ago. This app is its literal successor. Tons of customization options to make it perfectly fit your style of play, and tons of sources. I have long mourned the loss of Shorty, but I am happy to pay for this app to bring it back into my life.
★★★★☆John Lockhart· Jun 20, 2025
The premier Sunday download isn't working - otherwise a great app. I would like to figure out how to add LA Times Sunday tho.
★☆☆☆☆M Crisp· Jun 11, 2026
Why would anyone pay for a crossword app that doesn't even include crosswords. Why does google not provide more info about the apps????
