Each week, for the sake of all avid cruciverbalists amongst us, I create a new technology-themed
crossword puzzle using only words from my custom-created lexicon related to engineering,
science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, etc. You will never find among the
words names of politicians, mountain ranges, exotic foods or plants, movie stars, or
anything of the sort. You might, however, see someone or something in the exclusion list
who or that is directly related to this puzzle's theme, such as Hedy Lamar or the Bikini
Atoll, respectively. Enjoy!
cruciverbalist:
[noun] cruci- ("cross") + verbal ("words") + -ist ("agent, person") -- A person
who constructs crosswords.
