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will disappear because they are no longer valid.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.

Move the cursor up or down and the words are temporarily placed
into your grid so that you may compare them to the others.(This
is a great feature when you are creating your own puzzles.)
When the cursor is on the word that matches the clue for
22 ACROSS ... ASK press enter and PUZZLE BUSTER will even type it
into the correct spot for you.
The F10 LOOKUP DOWN feature works exactly the same way.
Lets try it.
First enter ANNE into 14 ACROSS... The clue was Ms. Meara.
Now we have SE for 4 DOWN .. The clue is .. Clan
A little tougher but not too tough for PUZZLE BUSTER.
Move the cursor to 4 Down.

going down. Oh Oh! PUZZLE BUSTER thinks we need a 15 letter word!!
That would be a little difficult to match up right now so instead
tell PUZZLE BUSTER that we only want a 6 letter word. You may press
either '6' or 'd' to do this. 5 letters with Shareware version.

Now we should get a word that will fit the 'REEL' across. Move
the cursor to the 'R' in 'REEL'. Select F9 Lookup ACROSS. Since we
don't want a fifteen letter word here lets try some 6 letter words.
Press '6' or 'd' to tell PUZZLE BUSTER to get all 6 letter words
that start with 'REEL'. Hmm, only 2 words, but they are both good
ones. Move the cursor to 'REELED' and press ENTER.
The result appears below. 5 letter maximum with Shareware version.

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.

cursor through the puzzle, the info box at the top right tells you
if a clue is required or not for that cursor position. You may also
use the F10 'Checks for missing clues' key to move quickly to the
next place that a clue is required. You will know when all clues
have been entered when you hit F10 and the message
'Congratulations! This Puzzle is complete.' appears as below.

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.

the clues will change to correspond with the blank that the cursor is on.
Type your answer to the clue into the grid at the proper location.
Either Across or Down. If you get stuck try using the cheat key
(Spacebar or F10). It will briefly display the answer at the bottom
of the grid as shown below!

Other Notes and Hints 30
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.
