PYRAMIDWORD PUZZLES
There are two halves to a Pyramidwprd puzzle, with each half consisting of a series of words of increasing length. Each word is an anagram of the previous smaller word plus one additional letter. For example:-

IN   NIB   BINS   BINDS   SINBAD   DISBAND   SIDEBAND etc.

A clue accompanies each word so that the puzzle can be solved in the same way as a crossword puzzle.

These graphics show a Pyramidword puzzle in the Magnum Opus Solve screen and a PNG graphic file produced by the program's print function, showing the complete puzzle solution. See also a  full size version of a PDF file.
