Horizontal Rule

Each month Nicholas generates a Macintosh foucussed puzzle or crossword using Sol Robots' Crossword Forge application.

Some months the puzzles are a typical crossword, other months the puzzles are a Word Search where you either look for the hidden words listed, or the hidden words must be guessed from clues provided.

Many of Nicholas' puzzles and crosswords have been submitted to a Macintosh Newsletter Content Sharing mailing list, TMC-NLC where a number of the puzzles have been picked up and published by different Macintosh User Groups from around the world and various Macintosh News sites.
