[5][6][fn 1] After Crozier's death, The Irish Times formally renamed its cryptic crossword in his honour.
[5][9] Initially the Crosaire appeared weekly on Saturdays, with Wednesdays added in 1950, Tuesdays in 1955, and a daily puzzle from 1982.
[5] In 1948 Crozier emigrated to Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, to work as a tobacco and maize farmer in Sinoia, now Chinhoyi.
[5] His puzzles were often delivered to Ireland through visitors from abroad to avoid the vagaries of the Zimbabwe postal system.
[11] Crozier's daily puzzles recycled a small number of 15×15 grid patterns,[15] each with fourfold rotational symmetry.
[17][19] Earle was succeeded by Paul O'Doherty, pseudonym "Crossheir", who compiled the crossword for a 10-year stint that ended on 30 April 2022 (2022-04-30).
