Acrostic word puzzles, originally called "Double-Crostics," have been around since the 1930s. Michael H. Dickman has written software to help compose them and publish them, both online and in book form. Recently he published four books of puzzles: the Acrostica series. Learn about writing and solving acrostic puzzles; the secrets of letter distribution in a 500,000-word dictionary; the ups and downs of computer programming; and the ins and outs of book publishing.
