This anthology features fifty new puzzles selected from thousands submitted to the New York World, making it a unique and exclusive offering for puzzle enthusiasts. At the start of this work, the editors discuss the ongoing debate about the difficulty of crossword puzzles, elaborating on the preferences of "pundits" who relish in obscure words versus those who prefer simpler, common vocabulary. The narrative engages the reader with a whimsical examination of the puzzle construction process and the competing interests of solvers and constructors alike. The opening serves not only as an introduction to the puzzles that follow but also highlights the cultural significance and popularity of crossword puzzles during the time of publication.
