The 31st annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament will be held in Brooklyn at the end of the month. The weekend-long gathering features competition by divisions, social gatherings of fellow puzzlers, and prizes galore. Cross that you won't be making it to the tourney? You can play along at home for a small fee, read up on some history and conventions of puzzle construction or study up a bit for next year's competition.
