"Crosswords and the People Who Love Them"
If you’ve spent the pandemic perfecting your crossword puzzle skills, you’re not alone. Puzzles of all kinds have spiked in popularity this year. But those of us who revel in the singular satisfaction of filling in the final square know the joys of crosswords aren’t fleeting. They have, after all, been a daily ritual for millions for over a century. Join Adrienne Raphel, author of Thinking Inside the Box for a lively conversation about where crosswords came from, how they’re built, and why we can’t get enough.
