Title: Youngest Crossword Constructor
Post by: fungi1995 on January 17, 2009, 11:47:39 PM
Hey, everyone. I'm 13, and ever since I started constructing puzzles and sending them in to the New York Times, I've been wondering who was the youngest constructor ever to get a crossword published in the Times. I started sending them in last year, and haven't gotten one approved (yet). I'm hoping to break the record, whatever it is. Does anyone have any information on the topic?
