All your daffinitions were fantastic but I have to choose the winner...

The winner is: anitarobi
Remember the slapstick comedies where men and women exchange quick, witty, naughty remarks??? Well the art of doing that well is cruciverbalism! I �d say Katherine Hepburn will never be surpassed in this art! Especially her conversations with Cary Grant and Spencer Tracy!

CRUCIVERBALISM is the construction of crosswords.

I liked this daffinition too:
One might suppose that cruciverablism refers to the ability to murder the King �s English with great ease or perhaps the skillful art of using one �s razor-sharp tongue to gore a grumbling grammarian.

It �s your turn Anita!
