The game has entertained people for more than 100 years.
Whether alone or with family and friends, people enjoy solving crossword puzzles. It can be a satisfying and relaxing way to spend time. In fact, they have a longer history than some people might know.
The first crossword puzzle was called “FUN’s Word-Cross Puzzle.” It was created for the New York World newspaper in December 1913. A few weeks later, the newspaper changed the name of the puzzle to “Cross-Word” by accident . Then, the game became even more popular after World War I. Many other newspapers also started to print crossword puzzles, except for the New York Times . They refused to print puzzles because they thought serious newspapers shouldn’t contain games and that they did not need crossword puzzles to attract readers.
During World War II, their view changed. However, the New York Times didn’t want to just add a puzzle. They wanted to have the best puzzles. In 1942, they hired Margaret Farrar, a former editor of crosswords for the New York World . She helped the New York Times become the best place to play crossword puzzles, and its reputation still holds today. Farrar also developed many game rules that continue to be followed by crossword puzzle makers around the world.

Tips in Use 重點解析
♦介紹 whether... or... 的用法
1. 副詞連接詞 whether 表「不論、不管」，與 or 連用，引導副詞子句修飾主要子句，表示無論是哪種可能性，結果都一樣，句型如下：
Whether... or..., S + V 無論是⋯⋯或是⋯⋯，⋯⋯
例： Whether it is a school day or holiday, Teddy always gets up early.
不管是上學或假日，泰迪都習慣早起。
2. whether 子句的結構為「主詞 + be 動詞...」，而且子句中的主詞與主要子句的主詞相同時，可將該主詞及 be 動
詞省略。
例：Whether you are interested or not, you haveto attend this meeting.
= Whether interested or not, you have toattend this meeting.
不管你有沒有興趣，你都得參加這場會議。
本文第一段第一句即為此用法，可還原如下：
Whether people are alone or with family and friends, people enjoy solving crossword puzzles.
