Richard D. Ekstrom
“About 35-40% of the time, a player wants to create a word ending in a specific letter. This, however, is not the way we traditionally think, and, not to mention, this is not the way dictionaries are sorted. In other words, in many situations, conventional dictionaries are not arranged in an easy to use manner. This dictionary solves that problem by sorting on the last letter of the word.”
Richard D. Ekstrom, The Backwords Dictionary: A Word Ending Dictionary

Alan Connor
“It's from the newspapers that people I know - relatives and co-workers - have got the idea that crosswords are a prophylactic against Alzheimer's. Newspapers are of course also the place where crosswords (and now sudokus) are most readily available, so the association is presumably good for circulation.”
Alan Connor, Two Girls, One on Each Knee (7): The Puzzling, Playful World of the Crossword
