The New York Times Crossword is one of the most popular crosswords in the western world and was first published on the 15th of February 1942. They’re managed by the New York Times crossword editor, Will Shortz, who became the editor in 1993. There’s a common myth that Will Shortz writes the crossword himself each day, but that is not true. He’s actually sent several options from a long list of contributors.
