Arthur Brach created many
crossword puzzles for Popular Electronics magazine in the 1950s and 1960s.
Unlike the hundreds of RF Cafe Crossword Puzzles I designed over more than two decades,
the PE puzzles usually have a few words that are not specifically related to electronics
and/or technology. Still, they are a good source of a brief break from the day's
business. You will need to print out this crossword puzzle to work it, since it
is not interactive. Have fun.

 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.

Cruciverbalist:
A cruciverbalist is a person who is skilled at creating or solving crossword
puzzles. The term is a combination of "cruci-" from "crucifix," meaning cross, and
"verbalist" from "verbal," indicating a person who deals with words.
cruciverbalists are often responsible for designing
crossword puzzles, and they possess a deep knowledge of wordplay, vocabulary, and
the techniques used in constructing and solving crosswords. They aim to make puzzles
that are both challenging and enjoyable for crossword enthusiasts.
