While all RF Cafe crosswords do in fact use only my hand-entered dictionary of terms and clues (literally
thousands accumulated over the years) that pertain exclusively to science, engineering, chemistry, physics,
mathematics, astronomy, etc., the choice for a particular title is to help attract search engines to
the page. There is nothing deceptive going on, just an attempt to exploit the nature of search engine
algorithms that rank pages based on meta tags coinciding with relevant keywords and phrases occurring
on the page. Enjoy.

 Take a well-deserved break and try your hand at some of these goodies.
Every word in the RF Cafe crossword puzzles is specifically related to engineering,
mathematics, and science. There are no generic backfill words like many other puzzles
give you, so you'll never see a clue asking for the name of a movie star or a mountain
on the Russia-China border.
All of these crossword puzzles were created using the fabulous
Crossword Express (now called "Magnum Opus") software.
