Wireless Technology Crossword Puzzle
June 11, 2017

This week's crossword puzzle has a wireless technology theme with words which are terms you will find in news stories and text books. Avid cruciverbalists amongst us appreciate that each week I create a new crossword puzzle that has a theme related to engineering, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other technical words. You will never be asked the name of a movie star unless he/she was involved in a technical endeavor (e.g., Hedy Lamarr). Enjoy!
