Here is the RF Cafe custom-made technology-themed crossword puzzle for the week
of June 21st. Each week for two decades, for the sake of all avid cruciverbalists
amongst us, I have created a new technology-themed crossword puzzle using only words
from my custom-created lexicon 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, find someone or something in the otherwise excluded list directly
related to this puzzle's technology theme, such as Hedy Lamarr or the Bikini Atoll,
respectively. Enjoy!
cruciverbalist: [noun]
cruci- ("cross") + verbal ("words") + -ist ("agent, person") -- A person who constructs
crosswords.
