Watch Trip Payne and other top solvers do battle at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in the hit 2006 documentary Wordplay! The best-reviewed documentary of the year according to Rottentomatoes.com, Wordplay goes behind the scenes of the New York Times crossword puzzles, showing how they're constructed, edited, and solved. Celebrity interviewees include such notables as Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Jon Stewart, the Indigo Girls, Ken Burns, and pitcher Mike Mussina. The second half of the movie shows the lives of many of the top solvers (including Trip) and then observes the surprisingly compelling crossword tournament that they've all been preparing for.
