> Posted by Cryptarithmania in This Site
When you get your copy of the Cryptarithmania CD, containing over 4 million cryptarithm puzzles, unwrap it, switch on your computer, and pop it in the CD or DVD drive. The CD (available for only US$14.99 discounted! Now only $9!) The CD might start automatically, or you might need to open it and double click on START.HTM.
When the CD opens, you’ll see something like this…
The Main Page of the Cryptarithmania CD
The main page describes the CD and how to use it. Note in particular the menu.
The Menu Of The Cryptarithmania CD
This is what these menu items do :
- Home will bring you back to the main page of the CD, the page that first opened.
- Word Lists is what you’ll use the most often. This leads to the lists of words that appear in the puzzles on the CD. This is illustrated with more screenshots below.
- Help explains in more detail the technical requirements of the CD, and how to use it.
- About gives a little information about how the CD was made, and about Polytope Media (that’s us!)
- Copyright explains what you can, and can not do with the CD. If you’re curious, you can also read about that here.
- Go Online will take you to this website, Cryptarithmania.com!
Since you mostly just want puzzles, click on Word Lists. Then, you’ll see something like this :
The Main Page Of Word Lists On The Cryptarithmania CD
As it says, the Cryptarithm CD has over 8500 different words in its 4 million puzzles. That’s why $9 is such an amazingly good price. These words wouldn’t all fit on a single page, so this page has links to lists of words. If you click on one of these lists, you’ll see something like this…
A List Of Words Appearing In Cryptarithm Puzzles
A big long list of about 90 words – links to pages and pages of puzzles containing these words. Clicking on one of these words leads to yet another list, this ime, a list of links to puzzles.
Links To Puzzles Containing "ELBOW"
Of the 4 million puzzles on the CD, 3009 contain the word Elbow. These are organized into 4 pages. Finally, when you see a puzzle you like, its page looks like this :
A Cryptarithm Puzzle from the Cryptarithmania CD
The puzzle is shown in big bold letters, with an invitation to see other puzzles containing the same words, and an opportunity to check out the solution of the puzzle if you get stuck.
Frankly, there’s nowhere else on the web you can get 4 million cryptarithm puzzles for such a low price. If you’d like to order a copy (it’s now discounted to $9), click on the Order Now button, or the picture (shown below) of the CD in its case. Or if you want to read more, click here instead.
