Customer Reviews

Makes you think.

Great little book that makes you think. For someone like me who can't do crossword puzzles this is another way to use my brain. These are not too difficult either. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great Puzzle Book

I have all three of Will Shortz's word puzzle books. They are the greatest wordplay books. I use them daily with my 6-8 grade middle school gifted students as their problem of the day. I would highly recommend these books. Some puzzles are easier than others, and some puzzles have words and phrases in them that children are unfamiliar with. But for the most part, these have been very helpful in my classroom use. I am waiting for Mr. Shortz to produce others just like this one and the other puzzlemaster books!!
