At least 10 clues with an asterisk (*) in this technology-themed
crossword puzzle are pulled from this past week's (7/2 - 7/6) "Tech Industry Headlines"
column on the RF Cafe homepage. For the sake of all the avid cruciverbalists amongst
us, each week I create a new technology-themed crossword puzzle using only words from
my custom-created related to engineering, science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy,
etc. You will never find among the words names of politicians, mountain ranges, exotic
foods or plants, movie stars, or anything of the sort. You might, however, see someone
or something in the exclusion list who or that is directly related to this puzzle's theme,
such as Hedy Lamar or the Bikini Atoll, respectively. Enjoy!
cruciverbalist:
[noun] cruci- ("cross") + verbal ("words") + -ist ("agent, person") -- A person
who constructs crosswords.
