A strange little side quest
Before the next round of Save the Pig Html5, here is a piece of the bigger picture. Arthur Wynne published a diamond-shaped 'Word-Cross' in the New York World on December 21, 1913; the name later shifted to 'Cross-Word' and then 'crossword'. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of Save the Pig Html5 is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
