Earlier this month I got my worst Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle score of the year so far. The game allows you to go back to previous missed puzzles, so give it a try and see if you can beat me! http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/295/pyms-daily-word-square-puzzle #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The puzzle for Sunday 6th April 2025. Completed with a score of 6, but with the solution obscured so as not to spoil it.

The bottom/right word in the grid is made up of the last letter of all the words. Because certain letters make more common word-endings than others, you can use this to help guess the last word. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/326/pyms-daily-word-square-tactics-the-last-word #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle for 23rd February 2024. The final word is made up entirely of common word-ending letters, S, E and D. You won't find letters like J, Q or V in here.

You can sometimes rule out a guessed word, when it creates impossible letter sequences in the words that it crosses. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/324/pyms-daily-word-square-tactics-letter-sequences #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle for 19th November 2024. The first word can't be FRIES, since that would force the second word to start with the letters RV, which no English word does.

If you're stumped by a clue, fill in one of the blanks by each letter of the alphabet in turn. This might jog your memory about words you've forgotten. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/319/pyms-daily-word-square-tactics-letter-substitution #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

An image showing the puzzle for 30th November 2024. The fourth word has a clue -H-A-. The image illustrates substitution of each letter for the central blank, allowing the player to visualise -HAA-, -HBA-, -HCA-, -HDA-, -HEA- and so on. The E brings to mind suggestions like AHEAD, CHEAP, CHEAT, SHEAF, and SHEAR.

You'll get used to seeing some words more often than you'd expect. Learn to recognise them, so you can try them ut first when their clues appear. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/315/pyms-daily-word-square-tactics-common-words #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

An image showing the puzzle for 17th September 2024. The word AVAIL is the most common match when the clue letters V and I occupy the second and fourth positions.

Make it easy on yourself by searching for the rarer letters and combinations that appear in the clues. Letters like J, V, Q, X and Z have fewer possible matching words than E, T or A. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/313/pyms-daily-word-square-tactics-rare-letters #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

An image showing the puzzle for 19th November 2024, with some words overlaid on it. There are few words that fit the -V-I- clue, the only examples I found being AVAIL, AVOID and OVOID.

A new series of posts on the web site gives some hints for Pym's Daily Word Square puzzle, some from Dr. #Pym himself. To start with: leaving the middle word for later. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/311/pyms-daily-word-square-tactics #ibmpc #msdos #cga

An image showing the puzzle for 19th November 2024. The only clue in the middle word is a B as its third letter. The four possibilities shown are ARBOR, BIBLE, CABIN, DEBIT. There countless further examples not shown.

I've been playing, sorry I mean testing, a lot of Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle lately. It allows you to solve past days' puzzles, and I've been mopping up weeks' worth of puzzles at a time. You can see them ticked off in the calendar. I hope to be able to release this during #dosember #pym #ibmpc #msdos #cga

The 2024 calendar in Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle. Dates in green are available to play. Green dates crossed out in red are completed. Dates in plain red are in the future, and cannot be viewed yet.

Like some of my previous games, Pym's Daily Word Square Puzzle will support CGA in three palette options, and Hercules monochrome. Yes, that green one is a valid #cga palette. #pym #ibmpc #msdos
