I started this series of blog posts to share some of the experiences I’ve had as the CEO of Credo.  We’re a small company –roughly 60 people – that has experienced steady growth and tripled in size over the last seven years. Our products and services are sold worldwide to libraries of all types. We started by providing a database full of reference content from the world’s best publishers. In 2008, we began to expand our products and services in an effort to widen our appeal beyond libraries and into the world of learning more generally.  Our mission is focused on helping learners develop the information skills necessary to succeed in the knowledge economy.

From there they can use what letters they know to see a list of possible solutions. What’s more, the words link to reference articles to ensure the user has the right answer to their clue.
