Crossword History The world's first crossword puzzle was created in 1913 by Arthur Wynne. It was published in the US on December 21, 1913 appearing on the "Fun" page of the "New York World". Wynne's intent was to use it as a page space filler. He had no idea that it would beome so popular. The idea came from a puzzle he had seen once in the "London Graphic". -- Want to try the first crossword puzzle? Go to First Crossword Puzzle.
