If you like word puzzles,
then maybe you'll want to give this word search with names of common electronics
components hidden within a matrix of random letter a go. It appeared in the July
1965 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. Keep that in mind while searching
for the Mystery Word since some might not be overly familiar to latecomers (we
old-timers will recognize it with ease). Interestingly,
in the original hard copy was missing the word for #23. I needed to look in the
given solution to find it and add it to the list. Enjoy.
Find the Components
By A. Janson
Twenty-two electronic components are listed below. See if you can find them among
the letters in color - they can read forward, backward, up, down, or diagonally.
Circle each word as you find it. There is also one unlisted item that is quite well
known to electronics enthusiasts - it has 18 letters!
