A follow-up to Language on Vacation, entitled Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought, was published in 1967; it was less successful but still attracted favorable reviews.[7][22][23] Borgmann also edited and annotated a book on crossword puzzles, 1970's Curious Crosswords. Throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s he was a regular writer for the Chicago Tribune, Games, and Puzzle Lovers Newspaper, and continued to contribute articles to Word Ways.[5][6][7] (Much of this writing was published under pseudonyms, including El Uqsor, Jezebel Q. XIXX, Ramona J. Quincunx, and Prof. Merlin X. Houdini.)[7][24] He also sponsored "Jackpot Jubilee", a series of word contests.[5][6][7]
