I myself am not a crossword puzzle person, though I would like to be. I found the opening–where Will Shortz reads his mail–to be hilarious and the story surprisingly moving. There are “famous” people throughout this documentary, but I found the most interesting people to be the “only famous in the puzzle world” puzzle people.

This was such a fun and interesting documentary. I just loved the nerd/geek vibe that is so central to this movie. And I just love Will Shortz!
