  • Crosswords

    I seldom take the time to solve a Sunday puzzle. These puzzles are difficult enough to make them enjoyable and the time to solve them is short enough to be make them a wonderful distraction. If they come out with another similar selection of puzzles I will not hesitate to buy it too. The only thing I don't like about this book is that it is limited to 200.

    The book is great. Just the right level to challenge, and not too obscure clues.

  • Better than most

    Better than most crossword puzzle books. I still think they must make up questions and answers to correspond with the letters needed, because even when you look up the answer it makes no sense. But I will say this is better than some I've had.
