Congratulations on the job.

Would have thought the computers should be able to make a good
stab at these things, what with all that fancy "SOUNDEX"
indexing, which will index words according to how they sound.

Recently stuck on a Crossword - thought I know ask the
Internet....

Found this site...

Must relate that computers appear now to be better at crosswords
than I am. 

Oh and they have long been better at Anagrams....
Kenneth Clarke = Kernel Net Hack
Iain Duncan Smith = Manic Hindustani
.... so you know which way to vote now.

I've been losing chess games to the machines since about 1985,
despite being a dedicated chess player, but thought, despite the
poverty of my crossword skills, I'd hold the edge there a bit
longer.

Still on a good day I can pass the Turing test - at least I have
at least once.
