Welcome,Lexi - good to have you here!

And in the magazine catering for the multiplicity of Amstrad PCW users, back in the old days, I picked up a similar word puzzle in Basic.
The program didn't work, any more than did most of the other puzzle programs in that magazine over the years, and debugging them to get them operational (and sometimes to improve them) was one of the ways in which I learnt how to programme in Basic - a very useful learning tool (but I never could solve the tile puzzle - even when it was working fine!)
