Solve Puzzles from the Hit Movie, Learn to Construct Your Own Crosswords, and Much More
 
?Irresistible...punsters, linguists, and crossword puzzle fanatics everywhere couldn?t ask for a more bracing tribute.... Buoyant and exhilaratingly brainy.?
---Variety on the movie Wordplay
 
Are you a crossword fan? Or have you always wondered about the appeal of these puzzles but never tried them yourself? With the premiere of Wordplay, a documentary about crossword puzzles, legendary New York Times puzzle editor Will Shortz, and the legions of solvers who devour his creations, here?s your chance to become a part of the puzzle craze!
? Featuring some of the greatest puzzles from The New York Times and the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament
? With an introduction by Will Shortz; the story of how he created the famous ?Wordplay? crossword from constructor Merl Reagle; the inside crossword dope from Jon Stewart, Ken Burns, and others; and the inside story of the movie?s creation from producer Christine O?Malley and director Patrick Creadon
? Learn how to create your own crossword; read what Bill Clinton and Bob Dole thought of the famous 1996 ?Election Day? crossword; try the only New York Times crossword that can?t be solved completely with a regular pen or pencil (hint: it features the Indigo Girls), and much more!
 
?Wordplay [has] potential to capture the commercial audience that made hits out of documentaries such as Spellbound and Mad Hot Ballroom.?
