Computer Puzzles Unlimited
Computer Puzzles Unlimited is a compendium of single player puzzles, consisting of fifty-seven puzzles of which there are one or more in each of the following categories:Anagram Word Find: this is a Word Find puzzle but the words have been 'anagrammed' making the puzzle much more difficult to solve.
Antograms: the player is presented with ten pairs of words that are antonyms of each other in some sense. All the words have been 'anagrammed' and the puzzle is solved when the player enters all the correct words.
Bowl A Word: this puzzle consists of ten groups of nine letters representing the ten squares of a bowling game. The goal is to unscramble the letters to form a nine-letter word and then form two more words to score more points.
Word Swap: This puzzle often appears in books and newspapers. The player starts with a four-letter word and must turn it into a specific word by changing one letter at a time, but each change must form a valid word.
Crossword Puzzle: is a crossword puzzle in which all the words have a common theme and all the words are placed on the grid. Key letters have been removed and the crossword consists of putting these letters back into the grid, thus completing all the words.
Number crossword: this is a crossword puzzle but instead of words the player must place numbers on a grid.
Crosswords: this is a crossword puzzle in which the player is given a grid and a list of words to place on it.
Crosswords: the player is provided with a grid similar to that of a crossword puzzle. In that grid there are spaces in which the player must place numbers. The only information given is the total of the numbers in each horizontal and vertical group.
Cryptogram: the objective is to decipher sentences encoded with a letter substitution code.
Curved Word Find: this is a Word Find puzzle but some of the words start in one direction and then change direction.
Figure-It: the player is given clues, by entering the correct answers the player's letters decode a phrase and complete the puzzle.
Krypto Quiz: the player must unscramble a group of related words that have been coded using the same letter substitution process.
Ladder Anagrams: the player is given a series of clues. Working through the grid, the solution to the leftmost clue has all the letters of the second clue plus an additional letter, the solution to the second clue has all the letters of the third clue and an additional last letter, e. g. , SHOOT-SHOT-SOT. By solving the clues correctly, the player determines the 'discarded letters', in the example O and H, which together with the solutions to other sets of clues complete a synonym pair.
Letter choice: the player is presented with a phrase, sentence or saying. However, the puzzle displays between one and three groups of letters, each of which has between three and five lines of letters. The goal is to select one letter from each vertical line to complete the word horizontally.
Looping Word Find: is an alphabet soup in which words can go off the edge of the soup and continue on the opposite edge.
Math Crypt: this is a logic problem, the player is given a series of statements of the form A + B = C x D and must use them to determine the values of each letter.
Collated numbers: this is an example of Sudoku.
Quotation columns: the player must spell out a sentence or sentences that form a quotation. They are provided with a grid that shows the length of the words they are in along with the letters that have been removed from the grid.
Solitaire crossword: this is one of the puzzles that does not have a single correct solution. The player is given a 9x9 grid and a stack of letters. Within the grid, each cell is numbered and the player must place the supplied letters on the grid to get the highest possible score.
Super Bowl A Word: follows the same format as Bowl A Word, see above, but the player is now faced with fifteen groups of letters, not nine.
Super Solitaire: follows the same format as Solitaire Crossword but is based on a 12x12 grid.
Synograms: similar to anagrams, the player is given ten pairs of 'anagram' words that are synonymous with each other in some sense, the puzzle is solved when the player enters all the correct words.
Word sum: another logic puzzle. The player is given three statements of the form MLAEO + MIMEL = TABLE and from them must deduce which letter represents which number.
