CROSSWORD PUZZLE

CARL ALTMAN, A. K. PRINCE and KENNETH SCHUG University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin
THEfollowing puzzle has been modeled after the typical English crossword puzzle. Rather than being a matching game between exotic word lists, such a puzzle tests the worker's acumen in other ways. The clues, in general, consist of a definition and an aid. Aids are constructed along the following lines: as anagrams (see 15 across), as homonyms (11 across), as words within words (5 arross), or as combinations of these. In short, anything goes. For example, "Cry about a man followed by fog. It is dear to all of us. (9)" is a clue to the nine-letter word "C-he-mist-RY." Good luck, and don't gum up the puzzle with 17 across!
