for solvers

No crossword puzzle solver has to be a constructor, editor, or publisher to work puzzles or to profit from or enjoy an exploration of this field. However, because constructors, editors, and publishers have a critical impact on what solvers solve, an understanding of their world is an important asset for anyone who is more than casually interested in crossword puzzle solving:

  1. The more a player understands construction, editing, and publishing, the better he will be able to solve. Understanding this psychology, work ethic, and environment will help solvers achieve their primary goal—to play better and thereby to increase enjoyment in play.
  2. Many players of all sorts are also amateur constructors. Some have a serious foot in both worlds. When such a player explores constructing, he explores himself.
  3. Solvers sometimes edge into constructing as they mature and gain experience. Learning about constructing can facilitate this process.
  4. the advent of crossword puzzle construction software is making it easier for solvers to design their own puzzles for amusement or for a variety of other reasons. Knowledge of this sub-world can directly help this kind solver do a better job of constructing, editing, and publishing.
