Wired for Crosswords: A Crossword Puzzle Book for Electronics Enthusiasts
80 Electronics-Themed Crossword Puzzles for Hobbyists, Students, Makers and Engineers
Most crossword books treat electronics as an afterthought, a handful of generic clues buried between pop culture trivia and geography. Wired for Crosswords is built differently. Every single puzzle is dedicated to the language and logic of electronics, making it the most content-rich, topic-specific crossword collection of its kind available today.
Authored by Chris Alick and Paul Alick, this large-format 8.5″ x 11″ book delivers 80 progressively challenging puzzles that span the full breadth of electronics knowledge. Beginners will reinforce the basics, Ohm’s law, resistors, capacitors and logic gates, while advanced solvers will test their command of PLLs, MEMS, quantum computing, impedance matching and semiconductor fabrication. In between, there’s deep coverage of:
- Core components: transistors, diodes, inductors, op-amps, Zener diodes and more
- Systems and design: PCB layout, power supply design, embedded systems and oscilloscope use
- Communication and wireless: Bluetooth, USB, HDMI, RF, infrared, antenna design and satellite/GPS
- Emerging technologies: IoT, robotics, wearables, solar cells, wireless charging and piezoelectric devices
- Digital and analog fundamentals: ADC/DAC, flip-flops, filters, PWM, signal processing and clock circuits
- Each puzzle is a genuine mental workout, reinforcing vocabulary and deepening technical understanding in a format that’s equal parts educational and entertaining. Whether you’re sharpening your skills during a coffee break, unwinding after a long bench session or keeping your mind active on a commute, these puzzles meet you wherever you are.
