Will Shortz News

Will Shortz, who has edited the crossword puzzles for the New York Times for almost three decades, is the target of thousands of daily attempts to outwit him.

Crossword addicts, or “cruciverbalists” as they are known, must satisfy their addiction, and they prefer to do so from a man whose puzzle is regarded as the best. A puzzler may rush to the finish, surging with jubilant dopamine, or they may shatter a coffee mug against a wall, depending on their skill level, temperament, and the day of the week (Monday riddles are easier, Saturday puzzles are harder).

As we sit in his Tudor-style home outside of New York City, Shortz says me, “I think humans have an inherent need to fill empty spaces. “Completing a grid gives us a sense of accomplishment.”

“When we start filling in the last squares, it brings an adrenaline and dopamine rush,” he continues. It’s a wonderful sensation, almost drug-like.

It’s challenging to overestimate Shortz’s significance in the crossword community. Observers refer to the “Shortzian” and “pre-Shortzian” eras, much like the Kremlinologists of old. His “visionary leadership” is acknowledged even by his detractors, particularly younger and female crossword solvers who feel that the Times puzzle is too white and male.

Shortz doesn’t appear lonely if there is solitude at the summit. He continues to be active and busy. He built and still controls the largest table tennis club in the US in addition to editing the Times crossword, doing a weekly radio crossword on NPR, and running the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.

As quoted by the comedian Jon Stewart in the 2006 documentary Wordplay, “When you imagine Crossword Guy” (also known as Shortz), “you imagine he’s 13 to 14in tall, doesn’t care to go more than 5ft without his inhaler.” Yet he is a huge man. Errol Flynn of crossword puzzles, he is. After meeting him in person, I was certain that he could defeat me in a physical contest, if you will. I had originally intended to take his lunch money. I therefore promptly withdrew.

When I meet Shortz on a recent Friday, I learn that Stewart has only slightly exaggerated: Shortz, 68, is similar to Flynn in height and frame, but he also has a moustache. And later, as we play a game of table tennis, I feel like a mouse who just happened to find himself flying for free in a hawk’s talons.

It is embodied in Shortz’s charming, slightly cluttered home, which also serves as the location of what might be referred to as the Shortz Collection, which consists of more than 25,000 puzzle books and magazines, including one from 1533, as well as various puzzle-related artifacts and trophies. Towers of paper two and three stacks deep are added to his library’s long-empty shelves. Shortz is compelled to leave the library and now works from a little neighboring space.
