This is, as the title suggests, the 'ultimate' crossword - it is three dimensional. Instead of just one 15 x 15 square to think over, it is a 15 x 15 x 15 cube of 30 crosswords with interlinked clues. This means that words now have to fit three ways not just two.

Each crossword is identified as either a front or a side followed by which one it is (A-R). The clues are arranged on the computer by a co-ordinate system the letter followed by the number. This is slightly annoying as in the book of clues supplied they are referred to as a number followed by the letter.

The puzzle itself if stored as data on tape and can be saved and reloaded for later use, this means that you don't have to keep typing in the clues that you have solved. The main program is in BASIC this means it is fairly easy to convert it for use on disc. Included within the program is an anagram solver, this might have some use for the dedicated crossword fanatic but I couldn't find one.

I am not the crossword sort of person, but I found it very enjoyable and easy to use, I even solved two clues (wow) side A7H across is 'arc' and front B1J down is 'orange'. That's what I made them and they fit, so please don't tell me they are wrong.

P.S. Can anyone tell me what "A wise plant?" is in four letters?
