The crossword puzzle.

A staple of newspapers, vacation activity books, and now tablets and smartphones around the world, the simple boxes-and-letters creation celebrates 100 years of existence Saturday. The first-ever crossword was actually called a "word-cross," and appeared in the New York World's Dec. 21, 1913 issue, created by Arthur Wynne.
