Crossword puzzles are believed to have first been created in England back in the 19th Century. A journalist by the name of Arthur Wynne from the port city of Liverpool created the first brain teaser for wide public enjoyment and this appeared in a newspaper on December 21, 1913. At first the puzzles contained no black squares and looked unfamiliar to today’s versions but soon designs changed and so did the popularity of the crossword puzzle. By the 1930s, puzzles were appearing nationwide and indeed, in publications across the world.
