Longo at a recent crossword puzzle tourney |
As a puzzle aficionado, especially daily crosswords, I find the Sunday Premiere puzzle created by Frank A. Longo a remarkable ongoing feat of magic. He is a relatively young man who is a renowned American puzzle creator and author, celebrated for his contributions to the world of crosswords and other puzzles. Not much is known about his personal life except that since beginning his career in 1993, he has had more than 3,000 crossword puzzles published in various outlets, including The New York Times and Games World of Puzzles.
In addition to crosswords, Longo has authored more than 90 books, which have collectively sold over 2 million copies. He is known for creating unique and challenging puzzles, such as a 50x50 grid crossword and the "Jumbo Puzzles" compilation of 29x29 puzzles. Longo is also credited with creating The New York Times Spelling Bee anagram puzzle, which has become a favorite among word game enthusiasts. His innovative approach and dedication to the craft have influenced many other puzzle creators, including Brendan Emmett Quigley and Joanne Sullivan. His puzzles are known for their creativity and complexity, challenging and delighting solvers around the world.
