Dell Magazines Crosswords are a great test of your memory as well as a clever way to learn new vocabulary while at the same time having fun. Truly educational entertainment. Crosswords are usually thought of as a singular activity, but special features in this program allow a player to compete head to head with others. This very versatile game can be played alone or with others on the same computer. If live opponents are scarce, players can create their own virtual opponents.
Players can select the skill level they like - easy, medium, or hard.
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.
