The Universal Crossword has been a popular go-to for many years, created by the Universal Press Syndicate (UPS) and part of Andrew McMeel Universal, which created The Puzzle Society in 1999. This is where the Universal Crossword, along with many other amazing and commonly used games, exist.
The crossword’s editor is the formidable David Steinberg, who published his first crossword puzzle in the New York Times when he was 14 years old, making him the second-youngest constructor to be published under the famous NYT Crossword editor Will Shortz. Steinberg was made the editor of the Puzzle Society Crossword in 2017, and subsequently the editor of the Universal Crossword in 2018. In 2019, Steinberg was made the Puzzles and Games Editor at Andrews McMeel Universal, where he still continues to edit the Universal Crossword.
