Whether alone or with family and friends, people enjoy solving crossword puzzles. It can be a satisfying and relaxing way to spend time. In fact, they have a longer history than some people might know. The first crossword puzzle was called “FUN’s Word-Cross Puzzle.” It was created for the New York World newspaper in December 1913. A few weeks later, the newspaper changed the name of the puzzle to “Cross-Word” by accident. Then, the game became even more popular after World War I.

无论是独自一人还是与家人朋友一起,人们都喜欢解谜填字游戏。这可以是一种令人满足又放松的消磨时间的方式。事实上,它们的历史可能比某些人知道的还要悠久。第一个填字游戏被称为「FUN’s Word-Cross Puzzle」。它是 1913 年十二月为《纽约世界报》所创造的。几周后,该报无意间将填字游戏的名称改为「Cross-Word」。接著,第一次世界大战后该游戏变得更加流行。
