Cross Sums Puzzles are similar to crossword puzzles.  Instead of
entering letters, you enter digits (1 to 9, no zeros).  Each "word"
is a multi-digit number.  The clues, rather than being off to the side
as in a crossword puzzle, are simply embedded into the black
squares either directly above a down number or directly to the left
of an across number;  They are the sums of the digits in the numbers.
No digit is used more than once in a number.  There is exactly
one solution to each puzzle.

The logic involved the the More-or-Less Weekly Cross Sums Puzzles
is challenging!  If it's too much for you 8-), there are smaller and
some easier puzzles in the free viewer.

Download the viewer from:  http://people.ne.mediaone.net/twestbom/Puzzle.html

The full version can generate more puzzles of the same quality as the
puzzles in the demo than you could use in a lifetime - unless, of course,
you let the computer solve them!!!  8x10 and up.  3 difficulty levels.

	Thanks,
	Tom
