What do Bill Clinton, Ken Burns, Bob Dole, Jon Stewart, and the Indigo Girls have in common? A wildly obsessive dedication to The New York Times Crossword Puzzle. And they’re not alone – they are joined by over 50 million Americans whose Sundays, often weekdays, too, are not complete without the challenge of finding all the words that fit. What makes them especially addicted to The Times’s version is the wit and intelligence of its master—Will Shortz—who clearly understands that this challenge must be fun or why do it? This delightful film explores the joyful obsession and the respect that all puzzle solvers have for Shortz and the tradition, which is dramatically realized in the American Crossword Puzzle competition, started by Shortz. Though there are allusions to other documentaries using competition as a dramatic arch, this is depiction is really more about the humanity and intelligence of the players as they wrestle with the mighty grid.  NB
