    Kermit Rose

    Kermit Rose lives in Tallahassee Florida. He majored in mathematics at Florida State University and worked at the Florida State University Computing Center. Mathematics has remained a strong hobby for Kermit all his life. He is eminently qualified to design novel puzzles. He got the idea of the ABC puzzle book because his cousin showed him an example of one, and then he realized that he could make a book of similar puzzles, but easier to solve than the one his cousin showed him.

      In this six by six square diagram, each row and each column will contain exactly 2 A’s, 2 B’s, and 2 C’s. This same rule will be true of the two diagonals of the diagram. Each cell of the 6 * 6 = 36 cells will contain exactly one letter. Thus after you find a few letters from the clues, you will be able to fill in the rest using the skills you developed solving the Sudoku puzzles

      In the pages that follow, you will solve 90 puzzles that fill in this same diagram, using across and down clues. The row 1 clue applies only to row 1. The row 2 clue applies only to row 2. Etc.

      These 90 puzzles come in 15 groups of six, with variable difficulty available in each group. This is achieved by each of the six puzzles in a group having the same answer, but different and complex ways of discovering it.

      As such each group is labeled appropriately. For example, puzzle 16A, 16B, 16C, 16D, 16E, and 16F. Then the next group is 17A-17F, and so on. The puzzle numbers start with 16 because puzzle sets 1A through 15F are in my First Book of ABC Puzzles.

      To elaborate what we mean by diagonals, the first diagonal refers to moving across the diagram by starting at the first square in the upper left hand corner and proceeding to the neighbor square below and to the right, which connects diagonally. Then continue downward diagonally until you reach the bottom, right square on the grid.

      This is appropriately called a falling diagonal.

      The second diagonal is obtained somewhat similarly, but this time you start from the lower left square on the grid, move to the square this one touches diagonally (at its upper right corner), and continue moving diagonally upwards till you reach the top right square.

      This diagonal is then called a rising diagonal.

      Visually, the two diagonals make a big X across the diagram.

      In the pages that follow, you will solve 90 puzzles that fill in this same diagram, using across and down clues. The row 1 clue applies only to row 1. The row 2 clue applies only to row 2. Etc.

      In the pages that follow, you will solve 90 puzzles that fill in this same diagram, using across and down clues. The row 1 clue applies only to row 1. The row 2 clue applies only to row 2. Etc.

      These 90 puzzles come in 15 groups of six, with variable difficulty available in each group. This is achieved by each of the six puzzles in a group having the same answer, but different and complex ways of discovering it.

      So, if you like easier puzzles then use the clues from all six puzzles, A, B, C, D, E and F at the same time. If you like puzzles of intermediate difficulty instead, try to solve one using the clues from only two or three of the puzzles within a group. It is a game of clues, and how much evidence you want to challenge yourself with is up to you.

      Other fun puzzle books use different vocabularies to describe directions. So, let’s get some jargon out of the way so that we are on the same page with what the clues mean. The given table provides this information as an easy reference, and its content becomes self-evident when using it to read through your first set of clues. It also includes reminders about what the difference is between a rising and falling diagonal on the diagram. In addition, notes about how the individual squares on the two different diagonals will be referenced to by number (square 1- square 6) are provided on the table.
