No more words

Here is a good article about Will Shortz, the Times crossword and the rise of sudoku. My fave fact is that the hardest position in a crossword is the lower righthand corner. Also that Bill Clinton did crosswords while on the phone with world leaders.

I saw "Wordplay" last Friday with JC and it was pretty great. Will Shortz is funny and self-deprecating and nerdy in a really sweet, non-embarrassing way. The Clinton parts are great, Jon Stewart is funny but the non-celeb crossword people - both those who make the puzzles and the people who can do them in under 3 minutes are really what makes the film fun to watch.
