Word Searches Are Much Younger Than Crossword Puzzles
The crossword puzzle came first by more than half a century. Arthur Wynne's first modern crossword appeared in the New York World on December 21, 1913. Norman E. Gibat's 1968 puzzle is widely credited as the first modern word search published in the United States. Although both puzzles challenge readers to find words in a grid, they offer two very different ways to play.

A Word Search Can Be Built Around A Single Letter
An unusual way to create a word-search challenge is to choose words that all begin with the same letter. A puzzle built around S, for example, might include sunshine, sailing, sandwich, and Saturday. The repeated starting letter gives the collection a common thread, while the different word lengths keep the grid interesting.
Entire booklets can also be constructed with word searches centered around a single letter. If you like this concept, check out our 24 puzzle U-Words booklet. It's jammed with nearly 500 words that all begin with the letter U for you to find.

A Word Search Became a Television Game Show
In 1974, CBS introduced a game show called Now You See It, hosted by Jack Narz. Contestants had to find hidden words in a large board of letters arranged in four rows of fourteen. They answered trivia questions and raced to locate the correct words. The show demonstrated that the familiar word-search concept could make exciting television entertainment.

The Grid Doesn't Have To Be A Square
Although the familiar word search uses a square or rectangular grid, puzzle makers can experiment with other shapes. Diamond-shaped, circular, triangular, and irregular grids can all create different solving experiences. Changing the outline of the letter grid makes the puzzle look different before a single word is found—and can make the search more challenging.
