The American Crossword Puzzle Tournament is moving to the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott. Yeah, that’s the tournament that was immortalized in the documentary film, Wordplay.

Directed by the New York Times Crossword Puzzle Editor, Will Shortz,  this is the nation’s oldest and largest crossword competition. Solvers
tackle eight original crosswords created and edited specially for this
event. Scoring is based on accuracy and speed. Prizes are awarded in
more than 20 categories, including a $5,000 grand prize. Evening games,
guest speakers, and a wine and cheese reception allow solvers to meet
each other in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere.

Next year’s tournament is February 29-March 2, 2008. For more information, go to crosswordtournament.com
