i would much rather "play" crosswords than "do" them...

but how about just the name "Crosswords"

Wait! I've got it................this name is perfect............


......







SHOW....ME....THE............CROSSWORDS! Can you feel it?! CAN YOU FEEL IT?!! :p




Seriously, Merv & Co. should just settle on LPC or just "Crosswords."

I'm still thinking Crossword Challenge would be a better title. Let's Do Crosswords sounds more like Let's do Lunch.

Wikipedia: "Crossfire was a current events debate television program that aired from 1982 to 2005 on CNN. Its format was designed to present a discourse between a politically liberal speaker and a conservative speaker."

And there's the whole Jon Stewart incident. So, no.

The fact that there was a CNN show means nothing, Jon Stewart or not. There's been several TV shows that had the same title. Granted "Crossfire" might be the most successful example, CNN can't stop someone from using the title.

Maybe "Cross-Wits" perhaps?

No, that title was already used.

Both Crossfire and Crossword Challenge sound like winners to me. They're much bettere than Let's Do / Play Crosswords, a title that sounds like it needs some serious overhauling. The All-New Cross-Wits wouldn't be a bad idea either.

hmmm....how about the computer game it probably will be based on Just lose Pat Sajak's name? "Lucky Letters"

Whatever the gameshow is called this 'Crosswords' may be combination of "Lucky Letters", "Trivia Jems", "Scrabble", and "Cross-Wits" all into one gameshow.

Yes, but when a show uses a title that has already been used by an other show, it's always an obscure show from decades ago. Crossfire ended just 2 years ago, and it lasted for 23 years. And it was very popular.

I think Cross-Wits is a great idea. It worked before...
