Merl Reagle, puzzle creator
Merl Reagle has been called "the best crossword puzzle creator in America" by Games magazine. His popular syndicated crossword, which has been described as having a Far Side sense of humor, appears every Sunday in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and many other major newspapers. He is featured prominently in the hit movie Wordplay, has appeared on Nightline and Oprah, and has given countless funny and freewheeling talks on puzzles, word games and language. He is "hopelessly addicted" to sudoku and even created an "eraser-free" version of the game that allows players to solve in pen without having to erase.
Reagle is the author of 11 critically acclaimed volumes of Sunday crosswords, and his 12th is due out in October. For details, visit www.sundaycrosswords.com.
