Family entertainment on how crosswords puzzles are made, who
makes them, and who works them. Will Shortz, the Crossword Editor for the New
York Times is one of the main people, also Ken Burns, Jon Stewart, and Bill
Clinton made appearances. The highlight is the championship games at the end.
When I was in high school, I mentioned to my science teacher
about a final I had in 9th grade, that was a crossword puzzle. She immediately
assigned me to write a final for her, as a crossword puzzle. It took a while,
but once done, she made very few changes, filed it away, and a couple years
later used it.
