Cricklers are a new type of word puzzle - a total re-invention of the crossword puzzle for the computer age. Traditional crossword puzzles are incredibly successful but they have several serious drawbacks: (1) They are difficult to construct, (2) Most words are short and often silly -- chosen only because they fit, (3) Matching clues to numbers is a distraction, and (4) A given puzzle is usually either too easy or too hard.
Cricklers solve all of these problems while retaining the essence and feel of a traditional crossword puzzle. Cricklers adapt: they become easier or harder depending on the skill of the solver. Words are chosen by the designer -- the computer takes care of fitting them together. Clues and answers sit side by side.
Cricklers use upper and lower case correctly and can handle numbers, symbols, and accented letters. You can see which letters are vowels, and you get a reassuring sound when you complete a clue correctly.
We have indeed re-invented the crossword puzzle and we hope you enjoy the results.
-- Michael and Barbara Crick

Crickler is a highly innovative computer savvy crossword word puzzle.
Traditional crosswords and other puzzle games are difficult to construct and complicated to manage. You need a game which can adapt itself to become harder or easier depending on the performance of the player. The program has all the clues and answers prearranged. All you need to do is choose the clues. The computer itself fits the various clues together to form a puzzle. You need not select a clue which fits. Rather you choose any clue and it fits. This program handles all words, puzzles, symbols, lower and upper cases and accented letters correctly. Whenever you complete a clue correctly, you will hear a reassuring sound which signals a correct answer. It even lets you know which letters are vowels.
The Crickler is a re-invention of the traditional puzzle game for your recreation.
