Crossword Quiz Instructions Crossword Quiz is Crossword puzzle where clues are displayed in terms of
the Quiz Questions. Any letters you type will be placed
into the puzzle at the focus cell which is outlined in red. The focus
cell can be moved around the puzzle by pointing and clicking
with the mouse, or by means of the arrow keys. At any given
time, a maximum of just two clues will be displayed. These will be the
clues for the ACROSS and DOWN words associated with the
current location of the focus cell. If, at any time you think you may
have made an error, the Reveal Errors button will show you
where they are. If you have made numerous errors, you can
begin again by clicking the Start Again. Crossword Quiz puzzles contain
several features which many solvers may not have seen
before. Firstly, there are horizontal and vertical bars located at
the bottom, or to the right in some of the cells. These signal
the end of a word and the beginning of another. In that
respect, they behave the same as the familiar black cell, but they also
allow a letter to be inserted into the cell containing the
bar. Secondly, there are several types of tunnel cells. These simply
change the direction of flow of a word within the puzzle.
The purpose of these two innovations is to allow grids to have
a word length profile which more closely matches the word length
profile of the dictionary from which the puzzles are
constructed. It is hoped that you will quickly begin to appreciate and
enjoy the novelty of these crossword variations. |
