Product Information:
LYRIQ International Corporation introduces "Crosswords-The Player's Choice";
a program for your PC featuring the broadest selection of crosswords
from the highest quality publishers. With puzzles from publishers like
The Washington Post, CROSSW RD Magazine, and Penny Press, and soon,
The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, players can choose from beginner
crosswords to some of the most challenging and provocative developed
by top constructors such as William Lutwiniak and Eric Albert.
We used the latest software technology and expert designers to develop a
product that makes solving crosswords on the PC a new and enjoyable
experience. Using Crossplay (TM), users can customize the interface to
match the way they like to solve crosswords. We introduced features like
Double Clue (TM), which provides an alternative clue to help solve those
tough words, and Checks-n-Xs (TM), which uses audio and visual signals to
inform you whether words are right or wrong as you solve the puzzle. We
also feature Auto-Hints, which will automatically highlight letters that
have been entered incorrectly. Or, for the true expert, we have tournament
mode, which offers no hints or additional clues, and challenges the player
to solve a crossword as best they can within a determined time limit as
they would in national tournaments. Whatever the skill level,
Lyriq Crosswords - The Player's Choice is loaded with features that could
make you as enthusiastic as President Clinton about crosswords.
Enjoy our graphic bitmap backgrounds and colorful cell blocks. Playing
crosswords can be as colorful as your imagination. Crosswords on computers
is attracting younger players. We offer crosswords especially for them in

Special features allow crosswords to be played by a wider audience. For
the visually impaired, we have a Zoom mode and an enlarged active clue box
to make it easier to view the crossword grid and clues. We also have
"Mouse Keys" for users who want to pick and choose letters using a mouse
instead of the keyboard. These features provide access for crossword
