To all you doubting ink-stained crossworders, online puzzles feature some nifty bells and whistles. For instance, you have the option to reveal a single letter, single word, or the entire puzzle. You also have the ability to verify whether a single letter is correct, and save your game for later access from any web-enabled device. There are several online crossword sites out there, but we humbly suggest you start with Yahoo! Games. There's a new crossword every day, and the procedure is relatively simple: just highlight the clue you want to tackle, and start typing. The word will be automatically formatted. The Crossword Puzzles category in
the Yahoo! Directory is another excellent place to start looking for just the right puzzle. There you'll find the granddaddy of online crossword resources -- Ray Hamel's Crossword Puzzles Index, a mammoth bare-bones directory of daily puzzles, articles, software programs, and anagram generators. Mr. Hamel is a reference librarian at the Wisconsin Primate Research Center and the author of hundreds of crossword puzzles. Unsurprisingly, he devours books and movies at an impressive clip. For you crossword
connoisseurs, you can also find puzzles from the venerable New York Times online. Happy puzzling!
