  • The Grounded Expertise Components Approach in the Novel Area of Cryptic Crossword Solving
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 03 May 2016 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00567 The Grounded Expertise Components Approach in the Novel Area of Cryptic Crossword Solving Kathryn J. Friedlander * and Philip A. Fine Department of Psychology, University of Buckingham, Buckingham, UK This paper presents a relatively unexplored area of expertise research which focuses on the solving of British-style cryptic crossword puzzles. Unlike its American “straight-definition” counterparts, which are primarily semantically-cued retrieval tasks, the British cryptic crossword is an exercise in code-cracking detection work. Solvers learn to ignore the superficial “surface reading” of the clue, which is phrased to be deliberately misleading, and look instead for a grammatical set of coded instructions which, if executed precisely, will lead to the correct (and only) answer. Sample clues are set out to illustrate the task requirements and demands. Hypothesized aptitudes for the field might include high fluid intelligence, skill at quasi-algebraic puzzles, pattern matching, visuospatial manipulation, divergent thinking and breaking frame abilities. These skills are additional to the crystallized knowledge and word-retrieval demands which are also a feature of American crossword puzzles. The authors present results Edited by: from an exploratory survey intended to identify the characteristics of the cryptic Roger Lister Kneebone, Imperial College London, UK crossword solving population, and outline the impact of these results on the direction Reviewed by: of their subsequent research. Survey results were strongly supportive of a number of Natasha Sigala, hypothesized skill-sets and guided the selection of appropriate test content and research University of Sussex, UK David Zachary Hambrick, paradigms which formed the basis of an extensive research program to be reported Michigan State University, USA elsewhere.

  • AV-WS Interview Transcript (Grammatically Corrected)
    Alex Vratsanos Interviews Will Shortz November 5, 2013 ALEX: From what I've read and heard, editing the Times crossword is a huge job. Not only are you responsible for a quality puzzle every day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, but you also have to correspond with constructors, keep them up to date on puzzle publication, and render decisions on about a hundred puzzles a week. WILL: I'd say 75 to 100 puzzles a week. ALEX: How do you manage that and still find time for table tennis? WILL: Ha ha! Well, I play table tennis in the evenings, but when I'm traveling I tend to work seven days a week. It's a lot of work, but you find time for what's important to you and what you enjoy. Usually I'm working at home, but I had a speaking engagement in Indiana last Sunday, so I was back in my home state for a few days. ALEX: I believe you have a team that helps you out, right? WILL: Here's the process, which started gradually. I had a summer intern in 2000, just to help me get through the summer and catch up on mail. I did that for a number of years. Then, around 2006 or 2007, I had a part-time assistant through the whole year, and for the last two years or so, the assistant has been full-time. My assistant right now is Anna Shechtman, who is a Times crossword constructor. I'm sure you've seen her work.

  • Perspectives on Play in 2016
    PERSPECTIVES ON PLAY IN 2016 By Raymond Simon his is a great time to be a fan of games and puzzles! Game cafés are popping up all over the place; anyone with a smartphone can download a gazillion apps to while away a few minutes; and the Internet has enabled game designers and puzzle makers to bring their Tamusing creations to the public quickly and conveniently. Considering all the amazing things happening, we here at GAMES WORLD OF PUZZLES thought that you would enjoy hearing directly from some of the men and women involved. So we’ve polled everyone from top-flight game players to serious scholars who ponder the role of play in our lives to bring you their perspective on the state of games and play in 2016. Their answers are thoughtful and informative, amusing and provocative. And given the time of year, they may even help you decide on a few gifts to share with fellow game-lovers. We’ve divided this highly unscientific survey into four handy sections: Parental Advisory; Classics Corner; Across & Down; and The Game Lab. We think you’ll enjoy reading through it. Most of all, have fun! PARENTAL ADVISORY Ordinarily, we side with kids, but with the holidays here we think mom and dad really do know what’s best. That’s why we’re beginning our 2016 survey of games and puzzles by talking to four parents who make games and puzzles! We asked them these questions: 1. In the past year, what games or puzzles did your children enjoy the most? 2.
