CROSSWORD PUZZLES

Designed Specifically for Jefferson County, N. Y.

by Shirley Farone

 

This is an experiment and something I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. Making crossword puzzles about my home county. My husband and I finally sat down yesterday to try to work one out and found it impossible, for us, anyway. My husband surfed the internet and came up with a program put out by EclipseCrossword which cuts down the guesswork and time; however, the end result is a scrawny-looking puzzle. But, that’s okay -- the facts and fun are all there. Perhaps with time, we may learn how to fatten them up!

I have all kinds of ideas on what topics to use -- now all I have to do is find time to work on this project. It should be fun.

As I launch this project, I look forward to my readers’ suggestions and opinions. Their feedback is important to me. This software provides several features, three of which I will use here.

The first is an interactive puzzle -- where, if you have Internet Explore 5.0, you can work the puzzle right on your computer screen. Just click on the block which starts a word and to the right will appear the clue and an area where you may type in your answer. It takes a little patience and experimentation.

The second feature isn‘t interactive, but gives the blank puzzle and the clues on one page and is suitable for printing out for working in your easy chair!!!!

The third feature I’ve used is the Answer sheet where the clues are repeated at the bottom.

Just click on the format you wish to you use.

Thank you for your interest.
