Do any among us know how to go about creating crossword puzzles and what in the world criteria are used for acceptable word usage?
I don't really want to make any myself, but I am curious. I am not talking about the most difficult and/or "best" of crw.p's here, but maybe middle of the heap printed up in small booklets available at the supermarket and from the archives of the Herald Tribune or somesuch.
Anyway, some of what I've seen drives me nuts and makes me really wonder at the editors!
