Using this CD is simple, but it will take you three clicks to find your first puzzle. With over 4 million puzzles on the CD, we couldn't put them all on a single page! Instead,
We couldn't fit 4 million puzzles and their solutions on a single CD! Instead, the CD has a 'Solver' that knows how to find the solution for you. The Solver is, in fact, a Java applet.
On each puzzle page, you'll see a link maked 'Show Solution'. Try to solve the puzzle first, and only click the link if you're stuck! When you click it, wait a few seconds while the Solver is loaded, and thinks about the puzzle. Then, the solution will be displayed - again, in big, bold letters!
If you can't see the puzzles... This CD needs 'javascript' to navigate the word lists and see the puzzles. Most modern browsers support javascript, but sometimes it is switched off. There are plenty of web pages that explain how to switch it back on, for example this one from Google, this one from Microsoft - or perform a web search to find a more updated version.
If you can't see the solutions... Each puzzle page has a link you can click to show the solution to the puzzle. This link will only work if your browser has a working java plugin.
If your browser's java plugin is not working, it can be a very easy problem to fix, or a very complex one - depending on your browser and operating system. Your browser might have already invited you to download and install the plugin, especially if you are using a popular web browser on a popular operating system. If you are using a less common operating system or browser, it might be more complicated. Search the web for "Install java plugin" and the name of your browser and operating system (eg, 'install java plugin firefox linux') and follow the instructions you find.
