=== World War II === {{main|D-Day Daily Telegraph crossword security alarm}} In 1944, Allied security officers were disturbed by the appearance, in a series of crosswords in ''The Daily Telegraph'', of words that were secret code names for military operations planned as part of [[Operation Overlord]]. Some cryptologists for [[Bletchley Park]] were selected after doing well in a crossword-solving competition.<ref>''The Daily Telegraph β 80 Years of Cryptic Crosswords'', p. 44.</ref>
