John Derek Crozier, known by the pseudonym 'Crosaire', was a prominent cryptic crossword compiler for The Irish Times, a role he held from 1943 until his death in 2010. The crossword, informally referred to as 'the Crosaire', gained popularity during his 68 years of exclusive contributions. The name 'Crosaire' is derived from a play on Crozier’s surname and the Irish word for 'crossroad'. Following his passing, The Irish Times renamed the cryptic crossword in his honor, further cementing his legacy in the realm of crossword puzzles.
