TIPS The number of characters in a word is provided in parentheses following the clue. The Crossword Puzzle may contain terms consisting of simple or compound words, e.g. "three point method". A compound word is indicated by two or more numbers in parentheses. The count of numbers in the parenthesis indicates how many words the term consists of. A comma (,) between two numbers in parentheses indicates that the words are normally separated by a space. A hyphen (-) between numbers indicates that the words are normally connected by a hyphen. In the Crossword Puzzle, however, compound words shall be entered without any hyphens or empty cells between them. Example: The term "three point method" will be indicated by the numbers (5,5,6) following the clue, meaning that the term consists of three words, with 5, 5, and 6 characters, respectively, and separated by spaces in normal writing. When solving the Puzzle, however, this term shall be entered as THREEPOINTMETHOD.
