Summary:
British comedian and novelist Stephen Fry is fascinated with word games like crossword puzzles and Scrabble, so much that he believes them to be an integal part of our culture. With the help of linguists, puzzle makers and psychologists, Fry discovers that English seems to be almost tailor-made for word puzzles, perhaps more than any other language.
