 In 1978 Shortz founded and still directs the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.However, a number of other high-profile puzzles have since emerged in the United States in particular, many of which rival the Times in quality and prestige.These include "The New Yorker", "The Washington Post", "The Wall Street Journal", "Brendan Emmett Quigley", "The American Values Club", "Inkubator Crosswords," and "Fireball Crosswords" (the latter four of which are distributed digitally).
