Will Shortz has written a little blurb about the upcoming tournament for the New York Times. It serves mostly as a reminder that the tournament is coming up and that it will be in Brooklyn this year. It also mentions that there will be a screening of a film called “Wordploy,” a spoof of the 2006 documentary Wordplay.

Yes, Tyler Hinman has won the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament for the third consecutive year. There’s a great picture on the site of him wearing his Trogdor t-shirt.
The other big news is that the tournament will be leaving Stamford, CT where it started. It will be moving to New York City and a bigger venue. Wordplay did have an impact on attendance this year. There were 750 contestants up from 500 last year.

The American Crossword Puzzle Tournament takes place this weekend. The web page says to visitors: You’ve seen the movie — Come join the fun! Likely there will be an increase in turnout for the first tournament after Wordplay.
As usual, there are sample puzzles on the site. And those that can’t make it to Stamford can play along at home for $20. (For fun only, no prizes for those playing at home.)
More on this next week.
