Universal Uclick Names Interim Crossword Puzzle Constructor
Thursday, March 10,
2016
On
Monday, we shared that Tim Parker has temporarily stepped back from his
editorial role for both USA TODAY and Universal Crosswords while Universal
Uclick continues to investigate allegations that some puzzles edited by Tim
contained similarities to puzzles edited by others.
In
the meantime, constructor Fred Piscop will step in to handle the Universal Crossword and USA TODAY crosswords. Fred is former crossword editor at the
Washington Post, the published author of several crossword puzzle books, and a
highly respected constructor.
Again,
we sincerely regret any inconvenience this issue may have caused clients and
their readers, and we know crossword enthusiasts will enjoy Fred's puzzles.
