Black Crossword

Frustrated by the dearth of Black people creating puzzles or appearing as clues, entrepreneur Juliana Pache created blackcrossword.com in early 2023. The site at once took off counting such regular players and fans such as Questlove.

Now, to expand her platform, Pache has brought her cultural crossword puzzles to book publishing. Like her site, the concept for BLACK CROSSWORD is a game that places emphasis on terms and clues from across the diaspora. By highlighting prominent cultural figures, movements, artistic achievements, and Black vernacular from across the globe, BLACK CROSSWORD serves as a simple yet impactful way for solvers to engage in the diaspora and celebrate Black culture.
