Crossword Puzzler's Necessity

Couldn't do our daily crossword without this book. The last one I had became so worn it started to come apart, so was very glad to see it's still being published and so reasonably priced.

Better and faster than promised

The book was in terrific condition -- I wouldn't have known it was used it they hadn't told me so. Also, I received it about a week earlier than expected!

Webster's New World Crossword Puzzle Dictionary

I enjoy using this book while doing crossword puzzles because it is most complete. I have used this book for years and have yet to find one better. My first edition has woren out and I am using my second edition and have just purchased another for my friend who is only beginning to do crosswords. If there is one better I would be most interested in it.

Crossword fanatic

I am now in the process of wearing out my third copy of Webster's Crossword Dictionary. If you do the New York Times puzzle or the Atlantic Monthly or the Harper's puzzles, you'll find this dictionary the most helpful, particularly useful when you are only interested in possibilities of a certain number of letters.
