The first known published crossword puzzle was created by a journalist named Arthur Wynne from Liverpool, and he is usually credited as the inventor of the popular word game. December 21, 1913 was the date and it appeared in a Sunday newspaper, the New York World.
Wynne's puzzle differed from today's crosswords in that it was diamond shaped and contained no internal black squares.
