Puzzles               and               games               make               excellent               gifts,               but               have               you               ever               considered               their               history?

As               does               everything               else,               puzzles               have               an               origin.

Puzzles               are               so               commonplace               today               that               we               forget               that               as               with               most               other               things,               puzzles               came               from               small               beginnings.

How               do               you               reckon               the               first               puzzle               came               about?

Did               a               child               decide               to               cut               up               his               drawing               and               then               change               his               mind               and               try               to               put               it               back               together               again?

Did               a               man               suddenly               think               that               a               jigsaw               puzzle               would               be               a               wonderful               stimulant               for               the               development               of               a               child's               brain?
               The               first               jigsaw               puzzle               is               agreed               to               be               created               by               John               Spilsbury               in               the               1760s.

He               was               a               mapmaker               and               engraver               in               England,               and               used               his               first               jigsaw               puzzle               to               assist               in               teaching               geography.

Simply               adhering               a               map               to               a               piece               of               wood,               he               cut               around               each               country               and               used               this               new               invention               of               a               jigsaw               puzzle               as               a               teaching               aid.

Teaching               of               geography               was               the               jigsaw's               primary               use               until               the               early               1800s.

While               cardboard               puzzles               were               around               in               the               late               1800s,               due               to               having               to               cut               them               by               hand,               they               didn't               take               off               dramatically               until               the               1920s               and               '30s,               due               to               the               new               development               of               die-cutting               machines.

And               the               rest,               as               they               say,               is               history.

Jigsaw               puzzles               have               a               rich               history               and               have               developed               and               changed               over               the               years,               still               providing               a               source               of               fun,               entertainment,               and               a               rich               means               of               socializing.
               What               about               those               wonderful               word               and               number               puzzles?

Crosswords               are               found               seemingly               wherever               one               looks               -               in               magazines,               published               books,               newspapers,               and               in               educational               materials.

Crosswords               makes               top               gift               ideas               for               men.

Sudoku               puzzles               are               also               a               great               source               of               entertainment,               with               a               much               more               recent               history               than               its               word-solving               counterpart,               the               crossword               puzzle.
               So               we               see               crosswords               all               the               time,               but               what               is               their               origin?

Who               came               up               with               the               novel               idea?

Like               all               crazes,               it               had               to               start               somewhere.

Little               did               the               inventor               know               that               his               idea               for               a               New               York               newspaper               would               take               off               to               become               a               worldwide               phenomena.
               Twenty               years               prior               to               the               appearance               of               the               crossword               in               the               New               York               newspaper,               a               similar               puzzle               had               appeared               in               an               Italian               magazine.

But               it               was               twenty               years               before               another               similar               puzzle               would               be               seen.

Arthur               Wynne,               a               journalist               for               the               New               York               World,               had               long               been               including               other               puzzles               in               his               section.

In               1913               he               published               the               first               "word-cross",               later               to               become               known               as               the               first               crossword.

For               the               longest               time               the               New               York               World               was               the               only               place               crosswords               were               found,               but               eleven               years               later,               a               small               publishing               company               took               hold               of               the               idea               and               published               the               first               crossword               puzzle               book.

During               the               1920s               there               was               such               a               huge               crossword               puzzle               craze,               with               clothing               and               jewellery               also               featuring               crosswords.

Obviously               the               crossword               would               have               been               seen               as               good               gift               ideas               for               men               during               this               time               also.
               While               the               concept               of               Sudoku               is               most               probably               based               on               mathematical               ideas               of               Latin               Squares               from               the               1780s,               the               invention               of               Sudoku               puzzles               is               a               much               more               recent               invention.

With               the               name               being               of               Japanese               origin               and               the               concept               of               the               game               considered               a               European               and               American               invention,               the               game               of               Sudoku               is               definitely               a               hybrid               of               nationalities.

The               puzzle               has               been               around               for               some               time,               but               it               has               really               only               been               since               early               2000               that               it               has               taken               off               in               popularity.
               Seeing               the               rich               history               of               these               popular               puzzles,               it               is               no               wonder               that               they               have               become               popular               gift               ideas               for               men.

So               next               time               you're               trying               to               find               creative               activities               for               a               rainy               day,               consider               pulling               out               the               latest               crossword               puzzle               book               or               sudoku               and               try               your               hand               at               these               brilliant               puzzles.
