In the “Crosswords” episode of the Cozy Rainbow podcast, Ms. Haddad speaks with Ms. Roberta. Ms. Roberta was a teacher in South Korea for 10 years. When Ms. Roberta was a kid, she loved doing brain teasers and crossword puzzles in the back of magazine books.
We answers questions like: who invented crossword puzzles? What is the world’s largest crossword puzzle? Were crosswords ever illegal?

For this week’s creative challenge, we are asking listeners to create your own crossword puzzle! To hear all about crossword puzzles and fun facts, listen to Cozy Rainbow podcast.
