Introducing the Crossword Puzzle Help blog

Posted on October 24th, 2008 by Mike

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mike, and this is my site. A few things about me: My crosswords of choice are the Guardian Quick crossword and the (infuriatingly titled) Speedy crossword in the Observer. I maintain Crossword Puzzle Help (CPH) in my spare time.

CPH was created primarily as a programming exercise for myself. I was interested in crossword solvers and how they could be programmed. (Quite simply actually). Solving anagrams was the next logical step and the site grew from that.

I’m starting this blog as a way of opening a dialog with CPH users. You can contact me by the posting replies to my blog posts or by the contact form here.
