A crossword puzzle is a game of words where the player is given a hint and the number of letters. The player then fills in a grid of boxes by finding the right words. Liverpool journalist, Arthur Wynne invented the first crossword puzzle.Arthur WynneArthur Wynne was born on June 22, 1871 in Liverpool, England. He immigrated to the United States at the age of nineteen. He first lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and worked for the Pittsburgh Press newspaper. An interesting side-note, was that Wynne also played violin in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.Later, Arthur Wynne moved to Cedar Grove, New Jersey and started working for a New York City based newspaper called the New York World. He wrote the first crossword puzzle for the New York World, published on Sunday, December 21, 1913. The editor had asked Wynne to invent a new game for the paper's Sunday entertainment section.View a copy of Arthur Wynne's first crossword puzzleWord-Cross to Cross-Word to CrosswordArthur Wynne's first crossword puzzle was initially called word-cross and was diamond-shaped. The name later switched to cross-word, and then as a result of an accidental typo the hyphen was dropped and the name became crossword.Wynne based his crossword puzzle on a similar but much older game played in ancient Pompeii that translated from Latin to English was called Magic Squares. In Magic Squares, the player is given a group of words and has to arrange them on a grid so that the words read the same way across and down. A crossword puzzle is very similar, except instead of being given the words the player is given clues.Arthur Wynne added other innovations to the crossword puzzle. While the first puzzle wasdiamond-shaped, he later invented horizontal and vertical shaped puzzles; and Wynne invented the use of adding blank black squares to a crossword puzzle.The crossword puzzle in a British publication was published in Pearson's Magazine in February 1922. The first New York Times crossword was published on February 1 1930.First Book of Crossword PuzzlesAccording to the Guinness Book of Records, the first collection of crossword puzzles was published in the USA in 1924. Called The Cross Word Puzzle Book it was the first publication by a new partnership formed by Dick Simon and Lincoln Schuster. The book, a compilation of crossword puzzles from the newspaper New York World, was an instant success and helped to establish publishing giant Simon & Schuster, who continue to produce crossword books to this day.
In my opinion any person in childhood, in adolescence or in adulthood thinks about who inspires him.
As for me, I am inspired by my mother. She is amazing. My mother is able to combine things, but to carry out them qualitative and carefully. My mother has achieved all her purposes and now she has a family already several years, including me. Although even now she still reaches her purposes, she has a business, a family and herself. Sometimes I wonder how she manages to do everything so that the result is perfect. I want to be the same as she. I already have purposes that I have fulfilled and purposes that I still have many years to achieve. For example, learning English, choosing a profession, etc.
But I am also inspired by famous personalities who have passed difficult tests and are still passing them. It seems to me that everyone needs his ideal to achieve his goals. After all, If it happened to others, you will also succeed.
In the end, if you want something, you are obliged to achieve it, and don't care on all principles, fears and opinions of other people. Don't wait for the constant right moment, just create this moment and achieve your goals. And most importantly, never give up. Everyone has mistakes, don't be afraid to make mistakes!
По-моему мнению, любой человек в детстве, в подростковом или взрослом возрасте думает о том, кто его вдохновляет.
Что касается меня, меня вдохновляет моя мама. Она потрясающая. Моя мама умеет совмещать дела, но выполнять их качественно и бережно. Моя мама достигла всех своих целей, и теперь у нее есть семья уже несколько лет, включая меня. Хотя даже сейчас она все еще достигает своих целей, у нее есть бизнес, семья и она сама. Иногда мне интересно, как ей удается все сделать, чтобы результат был идеальным. Я хочу быть такой же как она. У меня уже есть цели, которые я выполнила, и цели, которые я буду достигать еще много лет. Например, изучение английского языка, выбор профессии и т. д.
Но меня также вдохновляют известные личности, которые сложные испытания и до сих пор их проходят. Мне кажется, что каждому нужен свой идеал для достижения своих целей. Ведь если это получилось у других, у тебя тоже все получится.
В конце концов, если ты хочешь чего-то, ты обязан достичь этого, и плевать на все принципы, страхи и мнения других людей. Не ждите постоянного правильного момента, просто создайте этот момент и достигните своих целей. И самое главное, никогда не сдавайся. У всех есть ошибки, не бойтесь делать ошибки!
