the world's only academically accredited enigmatologist, __________, born on an Arabian horse farm in Crawfordsville, Indiana (1952). He's the current crossword editor of The New York Times, the puzzle master of NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday, and the author or editor of dozens of books. He sold his first puzzle to a magazine when he was 14 years old, and within a couple years, he was a regular contributor to puzzle publications. In college, he designed his own degree program in enigmatology, which he describes: 'Literally, it's the study of riddles, but at Indiana I defined it as the study of puzzles.' He drew himself up an undergraduate curriculum of classes in English, math, philosophy, journalism, and linguistics, and wrote a thesis on the history of American word puzzles before 1860. He went to law school, thinking he'd work for 10 years and earn a bunch of money so that he could pursue his avocation of puzzlemaking. But after graduating from law school, he skipped out on taking the bar exam and went straight into enigmatology, earning a living by creating puzzles for publications like Penny Press and Games magazines. In 1993, he became the crossword puzzle editor for The New York Times, only the fourth person to hold that position in the newspaper's history. He has made some changes to the Times puzzle page in his 16 years of editorship: The crossword puzzles now have constructor bylines (before the contributors weren't acknowledged), and the puzzles contain more references to contemporary pop culture (stuff like rock and roll and what's on television). Puzzles also now have more tricks and ambiguities, he said. He has also 'increased the slope of difficult further,' as he claims, between the daily puzzles so that Mondays are slightly easier than before he took over -- while Friday and Saturday crosswords are even harder than they used to be. He said that the idea is 'to have something for everyone, both beginners and veterans.' His all-time favorite crossword clue is 'It might turn into a different story,' with the answer 'SPIRALSTAIRCASE.' His favorite crossword puzzle is the one that was printed on Election Day 1996, designed by Jeremiah Farrell. The puzzle had two different correct solutions with the same set of clues. The clue whose answer formed one of the middle rows across read, 'Lead story in tomorrow's newspaper.' The answer seemed to be CLINTON ELECTED, but Jeremiah Farrell had carefully constructed ambiguity in all of the crossing clues, so that the answer to that middle-across clue could also be 'BOB DOLE ELECTED.' Either answer worked perfectly in the puzzle. The first downward crossing clue, for instance, was 'Black Halloween animal.' Either 'bat' or 'cat' would be correct, with the C for the start of CLINTON or the B for the start of BOB DOLE. Will Shortz later said, 'It was the most amazing crossword I've ever seen. As soon as it appeared, my telephone started ringing. Most people said, 'How dare you presume that Clinton will win!' And the people who filled in BOB DOLE thought we'd made a whopper of a mistake!' More than 30 years ago (in 1978), he founded the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, an event he still directs. __________ and the Tournament were the subjects of a 2006 documentary by Patrick Creadon, called Wordplay. The film also featured a string of prominent puzzle-solvers, like Bill Clinton, Ken Burns, Jon Stewart, and the Indigo Girls. When asked why people are so drawn to puzzles, he once said, 'We're faced with puzzles every day in life. What's the fastest way to run some errands? What's the lowest price we can get on home repair? Most problems we're faced with, we just do the best we can -- we muddle through. We never know if it's the best solution or not. With a human-made puzzle, when you answer the challenge, you know you have a perfect solution. It's satisfying.'

Answer: will shortz!!

I need help with these last three questions. They are not from a crossword puzzle so I don't have any letters, just how many words/letters are in the answer. Each answer needs to be a WORLD LANDMARK. a) Think you’re in Paris? 9,5 b) This water is not as sanguine as it sounds 4,4 c) As safe as the 4,2,9 Any help will be greatly appreciated! J.J.: Sorry - I didn't understand before the reasoning behind Lake Erie being correct. I kept focusing on the fact that "eerie" isn't the same as sanguine when I should have been thinking "ear-y" as you said. Thanks for the clarification, ... and for the Rock of Gibraltar :-) Well, JJ, I think you've come up with the best possibility for (a). The puzzle does originate in England so Blackpool Tower may well be considered a world landmark! What would I do without you!

Answer: a. see below b. I gave up on this! c. Rock of Gibralter http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/278251.stm b. Jacinta is correct (as was "Butch" previously) Lake: a red pigment (= sanguine)...... Erie = "Ear-Y". = as it sounds edit Catpushkin - I didn't see the rationale earlier either! So that makes two of us! edit 2 could a) be "Blackpool Tower" http://www.icons.org.uk/theicons/collection/blackpool-tower (obviously a la the Eiffel Tower)

BRITISH PUZZLE SOLVERS - HELP PLEASE!? All the answers must be fruits or vegetables (It's not a crossword so I don't have any letters, I'm afraid) Example: Sounds like Dad's Dram...ANSWER: PARSNIP You don't have to answer them all - just anything you can solve would help! Thanks so much. 1. "Good little bunnies" harvest 'em (12 letters) 2. Globe? Non, le petit dejeuner (6) 3. Frozen to it? (6) 4. Sounds like our choice (7) 5. You got one when you got one wrong (7) 6. "Interesting ---- Norma" (4) 7. Type of pottery (7) 8. Used as symbol for the world in art (11) 9. Former African Statesman (6) 10. Town (4) 11. OT on island (7) J.J. you're dong great - don't stop! I was wondering about "iceberg" for the "frozen to it" one, but it doesn't have the wow factor either. These are particularly tricky, methinks! Oops, you're right, JJ, iceberg is too many letters! Also, I hate the fact that I now remember that kids were given a cabbage on Crackerjack - I feel so old!!! The radish answer is simply brilliant. What would I do without you. :) JJ - you truly are a wonder (and only two left to figure out !). I wish I could give you MORE than 10 points. :)

Answer: 9 = BANANA - (Canaan Banana was the first President of Zimbabwe) 10 = LEEK - (Staffordshire) 11 - Apricot ?? (maybe = anagram of Capri and OT) edit: I shall keep coming back to these - Iceberg has 7 letters so can't be correct ! 5. Cabbage ?? In the 1960s in the kids TV programme "Crackerjack" I am sure that if you got a question wrong in the final quiz instead of getting a prize you got a cabbage!! 2. RADISH ("French Breakfast" ie "le petit dejeuner" is a variety of elongated (not a globe) radish) http://gurneys.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_14968 2nd edit 3. There is a saying "Frozen to the MARROW" (meaning bone-marrow) http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/be+frozen+to+the+marrow 4. Sounds like our choice - "Lettuce" ( Let us) ?? edit 3 1. BLACKBERRIES - the tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. (Vaguely remembered this so checked it!) http://wiredforbooks.org/kids/beatrix/p1.htm (page 7) "Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane together to gather blackberries" edit 4 7. Satsuma - Satsuma ware, a type of Japanese pottery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuma

Does anyone know a word that means "loyal friend" and has 7 letters in it? The connecting words in the crossword give me this so far: AC_A_ES Hope someone can tell me, the crossword solvers come up with zippo.. :-( THANK YOU..THANK YOU..YOU ARE BRILLIANT...would never have got that word if it wasnt for you :-) Found the definition to make sure it was correct and it was: A⋅cha⋅tes   /əˈkeɪtiz/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [uh-key-teez] Show IPA –noun 1. (in the Aeneid) the faithful companion and friend of Aeneas. 2. a faithful friend or companion.

Answer: Achates? In Roman mythology, Achates was a close friend of Aeneas. Was a loyal friend...only thing that seems to fit.

I am stuck on the last word in a crossword and the clue is "hauled over the coals" and the answer has 8 letters. I am pretty sure I have the connecting words right so the letters I have so far are either: C _ R _ ETED OR D _ R _ ETED. Now i know the definition of "hauled over the coals" means: chastised, admonished, reprimanded etc but I just cant solve this word with any of the crossword solvers on the internet even by taking the "R" out or the D or C at the start..still cant get an 8 letter word that will have the same meaning and end in the "eted" at the end..arrrrrrgh..hellllp...the only word I can think of that is very very remotely connected maybe is "corseted" which means: restricted or confined...can anyone suggest another word that will fit in here? Im going insane trying to solve this..lol..

Answer: 'Carpeted' means 'hauled over the coals'
