These crosswords are fun in more ways than one! That's because the slightly twisted clues include plenty of puns, humorous touches, and other funny stuff. It's a collection tailor-made for those who want puzzles as hilarious as they are challenging.
C rossword lovers will welcome this second volume of clever, challenging puzzles by David Levinson Wilk. He has devised 72 crosswords that will test solvers' knowledge of a range of topics, covering a variety of tricky and entertaining themes. For one puzzle, you'll have to know how much every letter of the alphabet scores in Scrabble. In another, words "jump" across black squares, while a third uses the same clues for multiple entries. And, of course, there are plenty of less experimental but equally fun crosswords, with anagrams, puns, hidden words in the grids, and other wordplay.
100 clever and challenging crosswords that will give your brain a workout. Come up with answers to "Getz of music" (4 letters), "New Age token" (7 letters), "Coach Parseghian" (3 letters), and "cowed" (11 letters). Clues draw on your knowledge of geography, history, people, and culture, and you'll have to find synonyms, abbreviations, definitions, and more.
