Science Crossword Puzzle
October 11, 2015 |
|
This week's custom crossword puzzle contains only words with relevance to science, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics,
etc. Since each puzzle is created personally by me, I usually insert a few special words and clues. This week, the company names of my two
newest advertisers* are buried somewhere in the matrix. Enjoy!
Reproduction of this puzzle without the express permission of RF Cafe is prohibited.
acr. = acronym, abbr. = abbreviation,
pl. = plural, wds. = words
Note: A standard for crossword puzzles is when all words in a clue are capitalized, the solution is the abbreviation or acronym for that
clue; e.g., Alternating Current = AC.
