Eighty-five years ago Simon & Schuster launched its publishing company with a book of crossword puzzles. Today they offer a 21st Century update on the publisher’s first product: 365 Crosswords, a download-able bundle of crosswords for the iPhone and iPod touch.

The years supply of puzzles was edited by John M. Samson, founding editor of Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book. The application, available in Apple’s App Store, sells for $4.99.

Here’s more from the release: “The application includes a variety of user-friendly features, including the capability to choose puzzles of varying levels of difficulty, and sort puzzles by author, title, or degree of completion. Users can solve puzzles in ‘pen’ or ‘pencil’ mode, and check or reveal answers by letter, word, or entire grid segments.”
