Here is another "R-E Puzzler," this one from the May 1967 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. It is a uniquely formatted type of crossword puzzle, where all of the common vertically connected letters are provided by the creator. All the words to be filled in go horizontally. All of the clues and words are related to electronics and/or physics. A couple of the words require familiarity with some of the technology of the era, like vacuum tubes and peculiarities of CRT type televisions. You will probably be able to guess everything based on the letters provided. Personally, I prefer the traditional crossword puzzle format because it is more of a challenge; however, these "Puzzlers" are a good relief for a Friday afternoon whilst waiting for the weekend to begin.

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

on the Russia-China border.
All of these crossword puzzles were created using the fabulous Crossword Express (now called "Magnum Opus") software.

They aim to make puzzles that are both challenging and enjoyable for crossword enthusiasts.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
