Will Shortz, the only academically accredited puzzle master in the world designed his own major program at Indiana University, which in 1974 led to his one-of-a-kind degree in enigmatology, the study of puzzles. Shortz has been the puzzle master for NPR’s “Weekend Edition Sunday,” since the program’s start in 1987, crossword editor of The New York Times, editor of Games magazine for 15 years, and the founder and director of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. Shortz received a law degree from the University of Virginia. He originally entered law school with the intention of practicing law for 10 years in order to make a lot of money before retiring to do what he really wanted: create puzzles. Shortz is the founder of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, the founder and director of the World Puzzle Championship and the co-founder of the World Puzzle Federation. Shortz was also the riddle writer for Batman Forever. In addition to editing the weekday and Sunday puzzles for the Times, Shortz is the author or editor of over 200 puzzle books. Recently, Shortz was the subject of the feature documentary film Wordplay in 2006.
