Can Crossword puzzles be considered as a family game?

Crossword puzzle came into existence in the early 20th century when Arthur Wynne created it. It is a fun and time consuming game which has a plethora of educational values. Although the puzzle was created for mainly spending pastimes in an effective manner with good amount of fun in it, educators from all around the globe quickly made out the possibilities a crossword puzzle can provide to a teacher. From then crossword puzzles have been used as a mean of interactive learning and education by teachers to help the students grasp the concepts quickly, brilliantly and in an effective way. Crossword puzzles are now an inevitable part of all leading kid magazines since it helps the teenage readers to improve their vocabulary skills, strengthen their spelling skills and helps them in having a good command over the language as a whole. The adults and grownups usually solve crossword puzzles for the sake of fun in it or to skip a boring period of their lives while staying in fashion. Can you forget the mere joy of jotting down hundreds of random words upon the papers and skipping through numerous pages of the dictionary just for finding the fitting word for the horizontal or vertical space provided? 
But with the advent of internet in our lives and being a common place saga now, our social and personal lives have greatly changed. We are much more reliable on technology than ever before - we even read our daily dose of news on the way to our workplaces in our smart phones. But it didn't greatly affect the fate of crossword puzzles as a survey revealed that millions of copies of newspapers are sold daily for the sake of completing the crossword puzzle inside of it. Even internet based copies of crossword puzzles are available right now for the more tech savvies who love to do things "on the go". But one serious question I always face is whether crossword puzzle is really a family oriented game. To find out the truth I asked this very question to several people from different places of the globe, coming from different walks of life - and the truth was revealed!
The answers of most of them regarding whether to consider crossword puzzle a family game were same as mine - yes, crossword puzzle can be considered as a family oriented game. But the reason behind their answer were various and truly intriguing. Some thought crossword puzzles should be played by grownups along with the younger generation to teach the young ones about the language, the vocabulary and help them sharpen their reasoning skills - thus helping in the maturity of the brain and sharpening their general intelligence. Some thought it was a social duty to join and help someone to solve the crossword puzzle, concluding that crossword puzzle is a great way to socialize. And some of them argued why one should play crossword puzzles when there are other entertaining and sometime more educational things to do on the internet. As valid as their reasons are, in my opinion crossword puzzle is a great pastime game to play with one's family members, but it can't be and shouldn't be played with more than 3 participants at once.
Crossword puzzles can also be considered as a family game for a variety of reasons. While it can be proved by saying that the very entertainment it provides is more than enough to be handled by an individual, the very reason is not enough to describe the importance and effectiveness of crosswords in our lives. Have come up with a few thoughts? Let’s see whether it matches with the ones listed.
