The hosts of The New York Times Crossword Web Forum did the compiling and editing, and included such high-flying crossword luminaries as Mike Shenk, The Wall Street Journal¿s Crossword Editor, Maura Jacobson, crossword writer for New York; and Merl Reagle, whose puzzles are syndicated throughout the U.S.
Each crossword features a theme to pique your interest: ¿Go Places¿ tests your knowledge of global geography¿ and more. You might say ¿Colouring¿ displays many shades of meaning. ¿Sew What?¿ will have you on pins and needles (and maybe sin stitches, too). And the answers to those special thematic questions are often in the form of puns or other wordplay, just to make the puzzles a little harder¿ and a lot more fun.
