For a novel approach, the computer can mix and match the difficulty levels. There was one feature that I really appreciated. I called it the rescue feature. A mistake alert points out errors and supplies hints for tricky words. If you like a time challenge as well as a mind challenge, the puzzle timer lets you play the clock as well as the Dell crossword experts.
Background music is optional.
Overall, Dell Magazines Crosswords was fun and very easy to work with. True to its advertising, the easy puzzles were undemanding and the hard ones were very challenging. I found that for the higher level puzzles, I needed more than Mr. Webster's help. An electronic thesaurus or crossword puzzle dictionary would have been a great help. If you are addicted to crossword puzzles, you'll love it.
