- Solving a crossword puzzle with PUZZLE BUSTER is very simple.
- Look at a puzzle in your local newspaper. It is usually a 15*15
- grid.
-
- Your first task is to enter the black squares. To do this, simply
- move the cursor over as many spaces as required for the first
- word across the top of the grid. Hit Enter. Two blocks appear as
- shown above.
- PUZZLE BUSTER automatically places the symmetric twin block for
- you! All good puzzles are symmetrical in nature. Finish entering
- all of the blocks to match your newspaper crossword puzzle.
-
- NOTE. If you place a block in the wrong spot just move the
- cursor to it and press the spacebar. They will both disappear.
- Del will also erase a block.
-
- Below is my finished grid. We are now ready to start solving the
- puzzle.

- Now is a good time to save this grid to disk. It is now called
- NEW.PUZ. Press F8. If you wish to keep this name just press
- enter. A better way is to name this puzzle as 110191 (the date)
- or any name you like. After you have saved the puzzle press any
- key and you will be back in business.
-
- The next thing to do is to get PUZZLE BUSTER to CALCULATE BOX #'s.
- Press F4 then y. Move your cursor around the grid and you will see
- that all ACROSS, DOWN, ACROSS and DOWN numbers appear at the bottom
- of the grid. Nice ! If you add or erase a block the box numbers
- will disappear because they are no longer valid. Press F4 again and
- PUZZLE BUSTER will re-calculate them for you.
-
- Now, lets try our first clue. In my puzzle it is
-
- 1 ACROSS ... (Go by.)
-
- I'm pretty sure that the answer is PASS. Go to 1 Across / Down
- and type PASS.
-
- Lets do a DOWN clue now. It is 1 DOWN ... (Spaghetti)
-
- I suspect that the answer is PASTA. Go to 1 Across / Down and type
- PASTA.
-
- Lets try 2 DOWN. (using the A in PASS.) The Clue is
-
- 2 DOWN ... (Poker stakes) If you do a lot of crossword puzzles
- you will know that the answer is ANTES. Go to 2 DOWN and enter
- the answer.
-
- Your puzzle should appear as it does below.

- Lets make the first answer (CASH). Enter this word across the top
- of your puzzle grid. Press enter at the end of the word to cause

- Adding Clues to Your Puzzle 15
-
- As a prelude to adding clues there is something I must mention.
- Always check for duplicate words in your puzzle. It is amazing how
- easily and often they will slip into the puzzle unnoticed. It is
- also very difficult to spot them with the naked eye. Good puzzles
- simply never have 2 words the same in them. To check your puzzle
- for dupes just press F6 SEEK Word Pairs. PUZZLE BUSTER will check
- every possible angle for dupes and will warn you if it finds one.
- If a dupe is found just cursor to the offending word and change it
- to something else. The following screens show PUZZLE BUSTER doing
- its SEEK Word Pair check.

- Adding Clues to Your Puzzle 16
-
- There are a few rules to ADDING CLUES.
-
- 1) The puzzle must contain NO blank spaces.
- 2) The puzzle must not have a previous clue file.
-
- A puzzle can only be changed if Clues have NOT been added to it.
- This is because by changing even one letter in a completed puzzle
- you will have made the clue for that change word invalid. I will
- show you a way to keep your old clues for this changed puzzle later
- but if a block has been added or deleted from a completed puzzle
- there is no way to get the clues back without re-entering new ones.
- You see, if a block is added to or from the puzzle then the box
- numbers can not match up properly with the clues which were based
- on the old numbers.
-
- Adding Clues to Your Puzzle
-
- If you would like to see your puzzle REVERSED press F5 REVERSE
- Puzzle and suddenly, you have a new puzzle! You could save this
- under a new name also.

- Other Features of PUZZLE BUSTER 21
-
- The rest of this document will concern itself with the other
- features of PUZZLE BUSTER.
- Solving Puzzles Created with PUZZLE BUSTER
-
- Puzzles that you create with PUZZLE BUSTER are of lasting
- usefulness. You can go back to them and try to solve one on screen
- a year from now if you wish. It is surprising how difficult it can
- be, even though it was you who created it!. If you have developed
- a puzzle that you are particularly proud of, why not use your modem
- to up-load it to your favourite bulletin board? You can be sure
- that many of the users there will have PUZZLE BUSTER and will
- really appreciate the chance to try to solve your puzzle. When you
- wish to up-load a puzzle or give it to a friend (who has purchased
- PUZZLE BUSTER) to try on-screen you will need 2 files. These make
- up your complete puzzle. In the case above the 2 files you would
- need are :
- CASH.PUZ and CASH.ADD
-
- Both files are always required.
-
- To solve a PUZZLE BUSTER puzzle on screen is simplicity itself.
- Select [5] Solve Existing Puzzle from the main menu. Load
- CASH1.PUZ for this example just as you load any other file in
- PUZZLE BUSTER. Once loaded you will see the following screen.

- Duplicated Words - Work Around
-
- If you are Adding Clues to a finished puzzle and discover that you
- forgot to check for duplicate words you can do two things.
-
- 1) Forget it and just make up a different clue. This is not the
- most professional way to create a puzzle though.
-
- 2) Change the actual word. You can do the following as long as
- you DO NOT alter the block pattern for your puzzle. Do not add
- or delete any blocks!. First exit Adding Clues by pressing
- ESC.
- Load the file with option [2] Load Puzzle at the main menu. If
- you get the warning that clues exist for this puzzle just give
- a new name that you are sure does not exist yet. Try XYZ or
- something similar. Now with XYZ on the screen you may use all
- of PUZZLE BUSTER's features to change the duplicated word to
- something better. When you have done this (and you did NOT
- change any of the blocks) do this :
-
- 1) Press F8 and type the original name of the puzzle that
- had the duplicate words in it. When asked Overwrite this
- file ?
- Press y. Press Esc until you are at the main menu. You
- may now select [4] Add Clues to Puzzle and correct any
- clues that are now wrong since some of the words were
- changed when you did the above operation.
- You may want delete XYZ.PUZ because it has served its
- purpose.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Backing up your puzzles.
-
- Since a fair amount of work can be put into creating your
- puzzles and clues I suggest that you do the following to safeguard
- your puzzles.
-
- 1) Exit PUZZLE BUSTER
- 2) You should be in your PUZZLE BUSTER directory. If not, please
- go there now. Try typing CD\PUZ and press enter.
- 3) Place a formatted disk in drive A: and close the door. Not the
- office door the drive door.
- 4) Type this Copy *.puz a: and press ENTER
- 5) Type this Copy *.add a: and press ENTER
- 6) Your puzzles and clues are now safely stored on the floppy
- disk.
- 7) Mark the disk PUZZLES and put it in a safe place.

- Puzzle Making Hints and Tips 31
-
- A few things not to do when creating your puzzles are :
-
- 1) Try not to have any duplicated words in your puzzle.
-
- 2) Try not to have 1 letter words eg:
-
- ▌T│A│K│E│N▐███▌E│A│T▐███▌H│A│S▐
- ▌███▌S│A│O▐█████▌Y│D▐█████████▐
- ▌█████▌R▐███▌R▐█████▌L│E│G▐███▐
- ▌███████████████████████▌A│T▐█▐
-
- The 'R' in 'EAR' above is all alone and will require a clue ACROSS.
- Not good.
-
- The 'E' in 'LEG' above will require a clue DOWN. Also not good.
-
- The 'R' all by itself above will require clues ACROSS and DOWN !!!
- Try to avoid this like the plague.
-
- 3) Try not to have too many blocks in your puzzle. Lots of words
- is the best (and hardest) way to go.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- While selecting words from Lookup lists, try using words with lots
- of 'R's, 'S's, 'T's, 'L's, 'N's and 'E's in them. They seem to
- match up best with other words in the puzzle.
-
- SAVE AS YOU CREATE !! My rule of thumb for saving is this:
- As soon as I do something I would hate to re-do, I SAVE.
