This is a story that has another backstory about my co-founder & friend, Dipesh. Apart from doing software development for a living, he loves making puzzles.
In the middle of a few customer releases, one Sunday, our team receives a crossword in the slack from Dipesh. We try solving and then it became a battle on who would finish it first.
Overtime, he kept adding crosswords for folks to play around with.
In FunForDevs we create this list as a repository and share it with the community for them to take a break, or as Dipesh calls it, "5 minutes crossword break!"
