US-ENTERTAINMENT-OFFBEAT-CROSSWORD-100TH ANNIVERSARY
(FILES)This April 18, 2011 file photo shows the April 17 Sunday Washington Post crossword puzzle. The crossword puzzle celebrates its 100th birthday December 15, 2013. The very first crossword puzzle ran in The New York World on December 21, 1913, a hundred years ago this week. It was the creation of Arthur Wynne. On the Sunday before Christmas in 1913, he invented a puzzle he called a word cross. The "Word Cross" was in a shape of a hollow diamond. The first answer across the diagram was filled in for you: F-U-N. With the complicity of the Post, Corey Newman, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, proposed to his live-in girlfriend, Marlowe Epstein, 31, through clues buried in a specially-crafted puzzle seen here.
