The most reliable x-word dictionary for me.
Am retired and have been utilizing this particular dictionary daily for many years. This is the 3rd one that I have worn out. I find it easy to maneuver through and cross reference, plus quicker than my smart phone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Publication Date Matters
Actually if you want ti solve 2004 crossword puzzles this book is great but it has no answers to anything more current than 2004 when it was published. Too bad they don't update with a new version. A two book version to make it easier to handle would be good too...if it is up to date.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
