![]() I can go into the program and manually give those words high scores in my list, so they get priority when I’m filling grids. The only real changes I make are when I add new, fresh words that I want to include in a crossword. PASCO: I have a basic word list, which I haven’t maintained a lot. I’ll check that list first when I’m filling a grid, whether that’s a themed puzzle or a themeless. I try to pay attention to interesting words and phrases that come up in everyday life and I’ll add those to a list on my phone using the Notes app. Since then, I’ve probably added many thousands of words by hand. Pasco dance the grid-filling tango.ĭER: My word list originally started as a few English dictionaries combined with words that had previously appeared in crossword puzzles. In addition, making sure that those entries are interesting and fun for solvers requires the strength not to fall in love with the words the constructor finds, because many of the entries may need to be replaced along the way if a section does not work.įilling a crossword is like a dance: one step forward, two steps backward and maybe a few steps to either side. Successfully achieving all-over interlock with words and phrases, as is required in American-style crossword puzzles, is not for the faint of heart. In Part 3 of “How to Make a Crossword Puzzle,” our constructors, Kevin Der and Paolo Pasco, tackle filling the crossword puzzle, perhaps the most detailed effort in the process. In Part 1 of the series, the constructors Ben Tausig and Finn Vigeland developed the theme, and the constructors David Steinberg and Natan Last set that theme in the grid and placed the black squares in Part 2. Not only does it run in the paper seven days a week with varying degrees of complexity, but you can also complete NYT Crossword puzzles online, and there’s even a video game adaptation of it for the Nintendo DS.Īs for the crossword puzzles being “sinful”… we’ll give you a clue.DEB AMLEN: We’re making great progress on our team-built crossword puzzle. Today, the crossword has moved far beyond its primitive origins. Fun fact: He’s the only “academically accredited puzzle master” in the world, holding a degree he designed himself in “enigmatology.” It’s such a specialized degree, there’s not even an entry for it on, but it stems from the word enigma. ![]() Shortz has gained widespread notoriety since that time, taking the puzzle to higher and higher heights over the years. ![]() Will Weng and Eugene Maleska followed in her footsteps before Will Shortz took the coveted reins in 1993. Since that time, there have only been four editors of the NYT Crossword puzzle, beginning with Margaret Farrar, who served as editor from the publication of the first puzzle until 1969. By 1950, the paper began running a crossword puzzle daily. The first puzzle ran Sunday, February 15, 1942, and it was, in fact, a primitive pursuit, (’s first definition for the adjective: “Being the first or earliest of the kind or in existence”), as they were the first major US paper to run a crossword puzzle. ![]() So, what absolved the crossword puzzle in the illustrious publication’s mind and made them eat their words? Reportedly, it was after the bombing of Pearl Harbor that Lester Markel, the paper’s Sunday editor at the time, decided the country could use some levity, primitive or not. In 1924, the paper ran an opinion column that dubbed them “ a primitive sort of mental exercise.” (Here, we’re inferring they meant primitive as in “simple unsophisticated”-’s ninth entry for the adjective) and a “sinful waste.” Harsh! When crossword puzzles first came about in the 1920s, the NYT turned up its nose at them. There are plenty of crossword puzzles in publications across the country, but when we think of the pinnacle of puzzledom (Not officially a word, but, perhaps, it should be?), the purveyors of the most preeminent puzzles, we bow to The New York Times (NYT).įor more than 75 years, the NYT crossword puzzle has been stumping readers with its clever clues and then sending them soaring when they finally fill in all the squares. ![]() ![]() It’s an uplifting pop concert with Christian overtones. The Tones: Remember when Acapella groups were all the rage in college? Well, this one is pretty great, with good stage presence and colorful costumes.Ī Brighter Day: Another great show. Also liked how the “story” set up in the queue area actually paid off during the climax of the ride. The family coaster (Dragonflier) is a short and sweet treat that’s much more thrilling than I expected, and our toddler spent a solid hour running and climbing around Hidden Hollow.įirechaser Express: A popular family coaster with forward and backward launches, many fun turns, and pyrotechnics. It’s a clever way to add a “Fantasyland” area (complete with character meet-and-greets) that feels completely at home with the mountain/hillbilly theme of the rest of the park. The theming is beautifully done and the big climactic drop is very satisfying. Wild Eagle: Excellent wing-coaster from B&M, with high speeds and a lot of scary “near miss” elements.ĭaredevil Falls: I love log-flume rides, and this is one of the best. Thunderhead: Great wooden! I was smiling the whole time, and loved the airtime that you get in the back row. Mystery Mine: Awesome hybrid of a spooky dark ride and a “weird” roller coaster that relies more on surprises and unique twists rather than high speeds. ![]() Their bass singer has one of the lowest ranges I’ve ever heard, and some of the songs brought us to tears. Kingdom Heirs: This Gospel Quartet (and back-up band) blew us away with their strong voices, friendly stage presence, and clever original songs. I experienced pretty much all of the “big” attractions, except for Drop Line (down entirely, and now closed pending investigation of a tragic death in Florida) and Lightning Rod (hour-plus wait times). ![]() ![]() Only major downsides are the high price (less than Disney, but more than Six Flags), and difficulty getting around the park (very mountainous, some very long stretches of walkway). The rides are similar in quality to what we had at Six Flags, but the theming and strong quality of the shows really set it apart. Dollywood is really a pretty impressive theme park. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rationale for the spatial distributions of the various island attributes is drawn from the available literature and canvassed in the text. Continental islands, 18 of the 1779 islands examined, are not included in maps showing the distribution of island attributes and types. Most common are reef islands (36 %) and volcanic high islands (31 %), whereas the least common are composite low islands (1 %). These attributes yielded eight island types: volcanic high and low islands limestone high and low islands composite high and low islands reef (including all unconsolidated) islands and continental islands. It is intended to be valid at a regional scale and based on two attributes: five types of lithology (volcanic, limestone, composite, continental, surficial) and a distinction between high and low islands. The principal aim of the classification is to assess the spatial diversity of the geologic and geomorphic attributes of Pacific islands. Reefs lacking islands and short-lived (<20 years) transient islands are not included. An earth-science-based classification of islands within the Pacific Basin resulted from the preparation of a database describing the location, area, and type of 1779 islands, where island type is determined as a function of the prevailing lithology and maximum elevation of each island, with an island defined as a discrete landmass composed of a contiguous land area ≥1 ha (0.01 km 2) above mean high-water level. ![]() ![]()
