Uncommon words

[ClulessChris]

Can you help out? I seem to rember a word that applies to a Compiler of crossword puzzels, but can no longer remember this word. Do any of you know what it is (Please keep it clean)?

Everybody body is somebodys Nutter.

It's the same word, in fact, the word generally means someone who loves word puzzles.
