WONDERWORD first entered syndication in
Edmonton and Montreal in 1970. Universal Press
Syndicate of Kansas City assumed syndication rights
in 1980. It appears in 2 formats: A 15 x 15 grid
Monday through Saturday and 20 x 20 for Sunday
editions. For space reasons, some Sunday newspapers
carry a 15 x 15 version under the name of TELEWORD.
WONDERWORD
was created by Canadian author Jo Ouellet, and
starting in 1980, David Ouellet started helping
his mother in the creation of the puzzles. By
1984 David was creating the majority of WONDERWORDs,
and his name appeared as co-author in 1994. After
Jo Ouellet's untimely passing in 1997, David continued
the feature alone.
In
all formats, it appears in some 225 newspapers
around the world.
It
is estimated that some 1,000,000 people of all
ages enjoy solving WONDERWORD puzzles every
day.
