With Henry Rathvon and Emily Cox, he wrote the crossword for the Boston Globe. Hook began constructing crosswords at age 14, when he sent a rebuttal crossword to Eugene T. Maleska. Maleska's crossword contained the hidden message: You Have Just Finished The World's Most Remarkable Crossword Hook's crossword contained the hidden message: What Makes You Think Your Puzzle Is More Remarkable Than Mine[2] Maleska subsequently became Hook's mentor.[1] In 1980, Hook joined the staff of Games. In the mid-1980s, he collaborated with novelists Patricia Moyes and Herbert Resnicow to create crosswords for crossword-themed mystery novels.[3] In 1990, CROSSW RD ranked his Hooked on Puzzles #3 the best book of the year;[4] Hook subsequently recused himself from future awards.[5] Stanley Newman's official website has described one of Hook's puzzles as "one of the toughest crosswords (Newman) has ever published"; Matt Gaffney, the crossword constructor for Slate.com, described meeting Hook as being like "meeting Elvis",[6] while Will Shortz called him "ingenious, (and) a truly brilliant puzzlemaker." [7] He died on October 27, 2015, after a long illness.[8][9]References1. ^1 [https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/crossword-blog/2015/nov/02/crossword-blog-farewell-henry-hook Crossword blog: farewell to the irascible Henry Hook], by Alan Connor, in the Guardian; published November 2, 2015; retrieved December 17, 2015 {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hook, Henry}}2. ^{{cite news|last1=Bilger|first1=Burkhard|title=The Riddler|url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/03/04/the-riddler|accessdate=October 31, 2015|work=New Yorker|date=March 4, 2002|archiveurl=http://www.crosswordtournament.com/articles/newyorker0202.htm|archivedate=March 4, 2002}} 3. ^[https://books.google.ca/books?id=CZdmLIrJnZcC&pg=PT185&lpg=PT185&dq=%22murder+across+and+down%22+hook&source=bl&ots=_9pMAJJeHw&sig=iDV8DJ2LIqsDawRqDkpFfOXK-Uw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6gtDjzYfXAhUFjZQKHRuQBswQ6AEIODAD#v=onepage&q=%22murder%20across%20and%20down%22%20hook&f=false Puzzled: Secrets and clues from a life in words], by David Astle; published November 1, 2012, by Profile Books 4. ^[https://www.scribd.com/doc/256332623/And-the-Wynners-Are-Weng-Hook-Cox-Rathvon-Shenk-Pomerance-and-Joline-by-Helene-Hovanec And the Wynners are: Weng, Hook, Cox, Rathvon, Shenk, Pomerance, and Joline], by Helene Hovanec, in CROSSW RD Magazine; volume 1, number 2; March/April 1991; via Scribd; retrieved February 15, 2017 5. ^[https://www.scribd.com/doc/253543629/In-Memoriam-William-Lutwiniak-1919-1992-by-jbn-J-Baxter-Newgate Letters], by Henry Hook, in CROSSW RD Magazine; volume II number 3 (May-June 1992), via Scribd; retrieved February 25, 2017 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Gaffney|first1=Matt|title=Diary: A Weeklong Electronic Journal: Entry 5|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/arts_and_life/diary/features/2002/_33/entry_5.html|work=Slate|date=January 25, 2002}} 7. ^Crossword Elite Put Lots Of Thought Into Little Boxes, by Sam Hodges, in the Orlando Sentinel; published January 3, 1988; retrieved February 15, 2017 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Shortz|first1=Will|title=Remembering Henry Hook|url=http://wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/10/28/remembering-henry-hook/|accessdate=October 31, 2015|work=New York Times|date=October 28, 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Puzzle maker Henry Hook dies after a long illness|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2015/10/30/puzzle-maker-henry-hook-dies-after-long-illness/cppq0eu96E9A9tDA2zLFiL/story.html|accessdate=October 31, 2015|work=Boston Globe|date=October 30, 2015}} 4 : 1955 births|Crossword compilers|People from East Rutherford, New Jersey|2015 deaths |
