Mason when she says her team should focus on their core mission - editing puzzles.īut this makes her decision to abandon successful and well-established third-party apps and file formats in order to develop new tools in-house seem incongruent. ![]() Supporting a 25-year-old file format, one whose proponents even admit is long in the tooth and needs updating, is a valid concern. First of all, her responsibility is to oversee a suite of digital games and puzzles, not just the crossword. To be fair, I am not unsympathetic to Ms. We did it because we knew years ago that solvers switching to digital was inevitable (and we were clearly right), we believe that the best crossword should be available in the best app, we felt that solvers deserved to get the puzzle as intended by the editors, and that “a rising tide floats all boats.” Empathizing with the Times The Times, not Puzzazz, made money from every subscriber who solved in Puzzazz. We have never received any revenue from doing this - in fact, it costs us money every year. I think the Puzzazz founder Roy Leban sums things up nicely in his open statement on the NYT Crosswords situation: One such application, Puzzazz, asked to just receive any format at all, and their app can parse it. Many third-party puzzle app and program developers have reached out to Ms. This begs the question, just how difficult is it to prepare puz files? And other than printing your puzzle on paper, this announcement ends the ability to solve puzzles offline, such as when you’re flying. Why the sudden notice, and not a transition period to give the community time to make an orderly transition to this new “something”? Why is the archive of puz files being removed, given that the problem is with preparing puz formatted files, not maintaining them? Almost overnight, scripts have popped up to convert the NYT website crossword into puz format, and similar scripts have been around for some time.

Her tweet a few days later attempted to explain the decision, but only seemed to agitate fans even further: Mason wasn’t simply dropping support for Across Lite, but she appears to be killing off this entire ecosystem, much to the chagrin of puzzle fans. The Across Lite team even developed a new format at the request of NYT in back 2015, but strangely, the NYT has never used it. There are various newer formats floating around, but with the entrenchment of the puz format none has emerged as a clear winner. Not only are puz files used to distribute daily crosswords, the NYT maintains an archive of all its crosswords in puz format going back to 1993, even before online puzzles were introduced. Despite being aged and proprietary, an entire community of solvers, developers and checkers has sprung up around the availability of puz files, making them a de-facto standard. puz files, a format which hasn’t been upgraded in twenty years. Naturally the NYT joined the party as well, offering the crossword puzzles online and via smart phone apps.Ĭentral to this issue are Across Lite. Modems aside, this basic method has continued until now, and a variety of programs and apps have sprung up over the years that allow not only offline play, but with tailored feature sets, such as support for the visually impaired, puzzle fanatics, puzzle creators, team playing, etc. The NYT online crossword puzzles first appeared in 1996 - puzzle files could be downloaded by modem and solved offline using the program Across Lite. In 1993, Will Shortz was chosen as the fourth Crossword Puzzle Editor, a position he still holds today. The NYT first published its now-famous crossword puzzle back in 1942, appearing every Sunday, and in 1950 it became a daily feature. But the ramifications extend much deeper than just one application. Mason announced the end of support for the crossword-solving program Across Lite, abruptly terminating a relationship between the two organizations spanning 25 years. In a short article published in early August, Ms. Over at the New York Times (NYT) crossword puzzle desk, newly-appointed Games Editorial Director Everdeen Mason has caused a bit of a ruckus and hubbub (both six letter words with U as the 2nd and 5th letter) among digital puzzle solvers. ![]() ![]() ![]()

If we all lost just nine pounds, like the majority of people in this study did, our nation would see vast decreases in hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and stroke," said study co-author Victor Stevens, Ph.D., a Kaiser Permanente researcher. "More than two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. More than two-thirds of the participants (69 percent) lost at least nine pounds, enough to reduce their health risks and qualify for the second phase of the study, which lasted 30 months and tested strategies for maintaining the weight loss. After six months, the average weight loss among the nearly 1,700 participants was approximately 13 pounds. In addition to keeping food diaries and turning them in at weekly support group meetings, participants were asked to follow a heart-healthy DASH (a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low-fat or non-fat dairy, attend weekly group sessions and exercise at moderate intensity levels for at least 30 minutes a day. It seems that the simple act of writing down what you eat encourages people to consume fewer calories." "Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records. "The more food records people kept, the more weight they lost," said lead author Jack Hollis Ph.D., a researcher at Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore. In this study, the majority of African American participants lost at least nine pounds of weight, which is higher than in previous studies. African Americans have a higher risk of conditions that are aggravated by being overweight, including diabetes and heart disease. Funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health, the study is one of the few studies to recruit a large percentage of African Americans as study participants (44 percent). ![]() |
