For the sake of avid cruciverbalists amongst us, each week I create a new technology-themed
crossword puzzle using only words related to engineering, science, mathematics, chemistry,
physics, astronomy, etc. At least 10 clues in this puzzle with an asterisk (*)
are pulled from this past week's (10/30 - 11/3) "Tech Industry Headlines" column on
the RF Cafe homepage. Enjoy!
cruciverbalist:
[noun] cruci- ("cross") + verbal ("words") + -ist ("agent, person") -- A person who
constructs crosswords.
