Great film about crossword puzzle nuts
This film follows the annual crossword puzzle playoff in the Stamford , CT Marriott hotel that takes place mid-winter. Will Shortz of NYT crossword puzzle fame is the organizer. The film builds to a climax slowly by introducing the 2007 contestants and also profiling who are the famous crossword puzzle aficionados such as Pres. Clinton (does it in pen) et al . Believe it or not the tension rises and yes there is a final playoff after the crowd of very good players is weeded out. Interesting flick about everyday people who love word puzzles. I can t finish even the easy ones but I found the film fun and informative.Read full review

Crosswords
I enjoy working crosswords but had no idea of the competitive level that exists nationwide. The movie superbly presents the competitive angle while at the same time communicating human interest, emotion, and compassion. The theme was compelling throughout.Read full review
