;;; Commentary:

;; When this package is loaded, `M-x mpuz' generates a random multiplication
;; puzzle.  This is a multiplication example in which each digit has been
;; consistently replaced with some letter.  Your job is to reconstruct
;; the original digits.  Type `?' while the mode is active for detailed help.

;;; Code:

You have to guess which letters stand for which digits in the
multiplication displayed inside the `*Mult Puzzle*' buffer.

You may enter a guess for a letter's value by typing first the letter,
then the digit.  Thus, to guess that A=3, type A 3.

To leave the game to do other editing work, just switch buffers.
Then you may resume the game with M-x mpuz.
You may abort a game by typing \\<mpuz-mode-map>\\[mpuz-offer-abort]."
