Just as he was an avid reader, Dick Ward was a passionate solver of crossword puzzles. He always did puzzles in ink, never in pencil. If you fancy working out a few of the same types that he enjoyed, here are some suggested links (which will open in a new window):
Newsday's Crossword Puzzle - Dick completed this puzzle daily
New York Times Crossword Puzzle - not a subscriber to the paper, Dick only completed these when he was given a book of them
The Crosswords Club - Dick was a member of this subscription-based puzzle service for many years
Crossword Toilet Paper - He probably never used it (for either purpose!), but he did get some as a gift once
