Cricklers are a cross between a quiz and a crossword puzzle. They look like a quiz yet feel like a crossword. They bring a new dimension to puzzle design.

From crosswords, cricklers inherit the fun, the challenge, and the satisfaction of completion. What is new is the complete freedom of presentation. Cricklers are no longer "boxed-in". Puzzle designers are now free to use any words they want, words of any length, arranged any way they please.

Requirements: Cricklers take advantage of the new W3C-DOM standard and should run on browsers conforming to that standard. IE 5.5 works well, Netscape 6.00 works mostly, most versions of IE 5.00 work - some may not. Netscape 4.xx does not conform to the standard and does not work at all. We plan to support all W3C-DOM compliant browsers.
