Crossword puzzles have
probably lost their appeal to most people - especially if they are on paper and
not in electronic format that can be worked on a computer (your smartphone is also
a computer, BTW). I suspect so because up until early this year, I created a custom
electronics-themed crossword puzzle every week for RF Cafe visitors, but not a single
person has written to ask that they be continued. Oh well, that saves an hour every
Sunday. Lots of magazines used to print crossword puzzles based on their readers'
interests. Unlike the RF Cafe crosswords that use only relevant words, those puzzles
used common filler words where it was too hard to find a thematic word. This crossword
puzzle from a 1965 edition of Electronics World does a pretty good job
of using a majority of electronics-related words. Enjoy.
