This is acomputer version of Double-Cros"}tics,created by Elizabeth Kingsley, whichstarted appearing in the SATURDAYREVIEW OF LITERATURE in March 1934. Tosolve the"} puzzle, one enters wordsfitting the clues on the lines marked,and transfers the same letters to theindicated places in th"}e phrase. Whenall the letters have been entered, thephrase will spell out a quotation froma book, article, etc. In the puz"}zlesmade by Mrs. Kingsley (and other goodpuzzlemakers) the initial letters ofthe wordlist also spell out the nameof the a"}uthor of the quote and thework from which it is taken; I'm notthat good a puzzlemaker yet!In this computer version, much "}of thetedious work of getting the correctletter in the right space is done foryou - and there is no need for aneraser! Th"}e computer can clearmistakes instantly.The entries in the WORDLIST may besingle words or phrases. Those thatare longer t"}han 12 letters may becontinued in the next WORD, and suchcontinuation will be indicated in theDEFINITION. The words are ge"}nerallynot unusual "crossword puzzle" words,but should be familiar to a reasonablywell-read person.Now, about the DEFINI"}TIONS themselves.They are usually synonyms or shortdefinitions, but not always of themost common meaning of the word. Ago"}od dictionary is a handy reference.Also a good atlas. But watch for anyending with a question mark or anexclamation point;"} those are probablynot straightforward definitions.Perhaps a pun? There are someconventions regarding the definitionswhic"}h you should watch for;1) A semicolon (;) separatingdefinitions indicates differentmeanings of the word, or morecorrectl"}y different words that happento look the same. For example; adefinition for LEAD might be "leash;heavy, dark grey metal"."}2) If the WORD is really more than oneword that is indicated in the clue,as: (2 wds.)3) A word that is usually hyphenate"}dwould be marked: (hyph.) or(compound). Also, a contraction isindicated by (contr.).4) A slang word would be marked(col"}loq.) In addition it might bemarked (Br.) for British usage or(Aust.) for Australian. Likewise, ifthe word is in a foreign"} language, itwould be indicated; Fr., Sp., Ger.,etc. A foreign word now common inEnglish usage will not be so marked.5) " }Sometimes the clue for a word willnot be a definition per se, but aquotation with the word (or phrase)missing; such as: "A"!} _ in time savesnine", which should lead you toanswer: STITCH. (Of course, if thequote is followed by '?' or '!' youshoul""}d think in terms of a pun or jokeanswer.In later puzzles, we might feature'cryptic' clues, which are notdefinitions at a"#}ll, but secondarypuzzles to solve. But more about thatlater, should the need arise.If you have never triedDouble-Crostic"$}s before you might bewondering how to go about solving one.Here's the way I go about it: I startat the top of the WORDLIST"%} and work myway down to the end, answering those Ican figure out - or making someguesses. If I can get something downfor "&}about a third of the words, Ifigure I'm ready to tackle the PHRASE.I look at it to see if I can recognizeany words or part"'}s of words, trying toguess at a phrase or sentence.Sometimes the puzzle title can giveyou a hint as to the subject matter."(}Look for one-letter words; those areprobably 'A' or 'I' - not for sure,but that's the most likely thing. Usethe 'flash' c")}ommand (CNTRL-F) to seewhat WORD it is in. Does knowing thatthere is an 'A' or 'I' in thatposition help with that word?Li"*}kewise, check the two-letter words,especially ones in which you alreadyhave one letter. There are not thatmany two-letter "+}words. If you see 'T_'you have probably found an 'O'. If yousee some 'impossible' lettercombinations, such as 'THK' that t",}ellsyou that the WORD with the 'K' in itis probably wrong. Try changing the'K' to a vowel; does that help withthat WORD? "-}If you think you can guessa part of a sentence in the PHRASE,type it in and see what does for theWORDS you skipped before.".} Any help?Don't be afraid to guess; it's easy toerase mistakes on the computer(CNTRL-D). Move back and forth betweenthe P"/}HRASE and the WORDS (CNTRL-J),trying things.Really stuck? Save your work to date(CNTRL-S) so you can come back to itlate"0}r. Or print out what you have sofar (CNTRL-P); that will also give youa list of the DEFINITIONS you can taketo the library"1} with you. Or, betteryet, to show to Charlie at work. Youknow, the guy who's so hot oncrossword puzzles. Maybe he can help"2}you. (Watch out though; once Charliesees AUTOCROSTICS he might want toborrow your Atari!)But the most important thing is"3} toHAVE FUN! That's what AUTOCROSTICS arefor.And then, when you get really good atsolving them you might want to tryyou"4}r hand at creating them!
