Whilst in Mallacoota, our friend Dot who was visiting from the UK got us hooked on the word puzzle in the Melbourne paper 'The Age'.
We moved on to New South Wales and found a Sydney paper with the puzzle in as well. When we got to Queensland though, we couldn't find the puzzle in any of the papers.
It was cold turkey time which called for desperate measures! To keep us going, I wrote a program that generated the puzzle using words from a US-English dictionary I had on the computer.
Sorry but I have not had chance to convert the spellings to UK English yet and there are still some names and plurals in there!
The square is changed each day so print this page if you want to keep the solution.
The answer is just below!
