Autodidact Trip Payne discovered his love of puzzles early and leapt right in: submitting, competing and publishing crosswords. He's since cleverly navigated his way through the labyrinth of life, figuring out how to turn his passion, into a puzzling profession. This has led him to work, creating, editing, and publishing individual crosswords and entire books. And, Hollywood fun consulting and competing on game shows. Discover the clues to emulating Trip's wordy work!
