The world of competitive crossworld puzzles, apparently, is a lot like the world of professional golf. One no longer asks who will win the Masters, for instance. One asks, Tiger or the field? For crossword puzzle tournaments, the appropriate question, now, is, Tyler or the field?
(thx, john)
Update: Tyler Hinman was in the crossword puzzle documentary Wordplay.
