This book is full of wonderful brain games that combine puzzle feels with game feel and quiz feel.  We normally like to shape a game based on another we stumble across, and add our own content, but, alas, the content here for today&#8217;s game is so good, it makes my brain hurt thinking of another set to make it work.  And that is where we &#8220;value add&#8221;.  Not with the &#8220;default content&#8221; of the game, but to value add to the experience we CMS it.  So what does &#8220;CMS it&#8221; mean?  Well, &#8220;CMS&#8221; stands for <a target=_blank title='Content Management System information from Wikipedia ... thanks' href='https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Content_management_system'>&#8220;Content Management System&#8221;<\/a>, and we use the principles of CMS to encapsulate all the variable aspects we can think of about this game &#8230; <font size=1>within reason<\/font> and present that in an HTML form &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>method=GET<\/li>\n<li>action=.\/job_search_grid_game.html<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> &#8230; our usual &#8220;suspects&#8221; for such goings on.
