This Electronic Crosswords puzzle appeared
in the May 1967 edition of Electronics World magazine. Most of the
words are related to electronics and science (unlike my RF Cafe crossword
puzzles, in which ALL words are pertinent. I will admit though, that I use
software to help fill in the matrix (using a database of thousands of
hand-entered words and definitions), whereas Mr. Kimsey had to do this one all
by himself. If you happen to be an avid cruciverbalist,
then you might want to try a few of the RF and microwave engineering themed crosswords
that I have been publishing weekly for two decades (list at bottom). Mr. Kimsey
created many crosswords for Electronics World, including
May 1967,
December
1965,
September 1967, and
January 1965.

 Take a well-deserved break and try your hand at some of these goodies.
Every word in the RF Cafe crossword puzzles is specifically related to engineering,
mathematics, and science. There are no generic backfill words like many other puzzles
give you, so you'll never see a clue asking for the name of a movie star or a mountain
on the Russia-China border.
All of these crossword puzzles were created using the fabulous
Crossword Express (now called "Magnum Opus") software.

Cruciverbalist:
A cruciverbalist is a person who is skilled at creating or solving crossword
puzzles. The term is a combination of "cruci-" from "crucifix," meaning cross, and
"verbalist" from "verbal," indicating a person who deals with words.
cruciverbalists are often responsible for designing
crossword puzzles, and they possess a deep knowledge of wordplay, vocabulary, and
the techniques used in constructing and solving crosswords. They aim to make puzzles
that are both challenging and enjoyable for crossword enthusiasts.
