A strange little side quest
Tower Block may feel immediate, but the ideas around puzzles have been evolving for a very long time. The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Women competed in Olympic archery as early as 1904, making it one of the early Olympic sports to include women. So a round of Tower Block is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
