You always said you were smart. Now here's a chance to prove it, with the most challenging crossword collection ever. There are very few black squares in these crosswords, which means that most of the answers are long. Some of the information required challenges every facet of your general knowledge. And even when the answers aren't hard, the clues can be quite tricky. Try this, in the long answer category: what's a 15-letter word for Psychiatrists' suggestions, sometimes? In the area of specialised learning, do you know what Limon or Vanila (10 letters) refers to? And in the matter of tricky clues: what's the five-letter answer to 'nui loa' ('Fondest regards, ' in Maui)? Give up? Answers: ANTIDEPRESSANTS, BACARDI RUM, and ALOHA. If you can fill in all the blanks in these 72 cranium crushers, you're super smart, indeed.

Wht's bttr thn crsswrds? Tht's rght: crsswrds wth n vwls! At first, these challenging, but fiendishly fun, puzzles look like the usual crossword. But there's a devilish twist: you write only the consonants in the boxes, "not" the vowels. So when you look at the grid, there's no quick way to know exactly how many letters make up the right solution. Plus, because you don't need as many spaces for each word, the phrases can be longer than usual--and that makes the grids wide open and ratchets up the difficulty level. For those who need a little extra help, there's a hints section to tear out and refer to when needed, as well as grids with wordlists explaining (with vowels) what the answers are.
