Will Shortz
An Evening With the Puzzle Master

What's an enigmatologist? It's Will Shortz, revered crossword editor of The New York Times, the puzzle master for NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday, star of the recent documentary Wordplay, and the only academically accredited puzzle master in the world. In this informative, fun, brain-stimulating, interactive program for all ages, Shortz will discuss his favorite crosswords and puzzlemakers, how crosswords are created, their curious history, and his lifelong passion for puzzles in general. He will also answer questions about puzzles and conduct audience-participation word games.
