Someone looking to fill the void of the lack of representation in crossword puzzle culture is New York-based entrepreneur Juliana Pache. With a background that extends from jewelry making to serving as social media director with popular outlets including The Fader, Rolling Stone, and Vice, she was encouraged to create Black Crossword after getting stuck on a New York Times mini puzzle.

“I was like ‘I don’t know, what this is’,” explained Pache. “I just thought to myself, I wonder if there was a Black version of this or something that just has prompts and clues that Black people would know” BET.

I played a few puzzles and the clues ranged from finishing the lyrics to popular songs, new and old, African geography, to finishing famous Black artists’ names. With the puzzle being short, you can get through a few in a short amount of time while learning something along the way. Black Crossword is free and strives to remain so.
