Book Description

Solvers who want something fresh, fun, and filled with contemporary themes need look no further! Every one of these "gonzo” puzzles is constructed by Ben Tausig, one of the top names in the field, from his self-syndicated alternative weekly crossword series (featured in such papers as the Village Voice and the Chicago Reader). It’s perfect for those who know their Ashlee Simpson from their Marge Simpson, along with other modern and pop culture references. As a special extra, the answers to every puzzle include a unique "commentary track” in which Tausig explains some of the more difficult answers or provides amusing anecdotes about the crossword’s creation.

Do you know the answer to the clue “Luncheon of the Boating Party painter?” (Hint: it’s 6 letters.) Or the 7-letter solution to “Playing marble?” These compact crosswords cover a wide range of subjects from art to business, popular sayings to geography, authors to games. And they’re just the right level of difficulty for general solvers looking for something relatively quick to complete. There’s no obscure vocabulary, no punning clues, no trickery—just good, solid fun to occupy your mind. By the way—the answers to the two questions are Renoir and Cat’s Eye.

Book Description

Puzzle fans will welcome this second collection of crossword fun from Richard Silvestri! All crosswords have words...but some are sorely lacking in wordplay. Luckily, this collection has plenty: every theme and many of the clues are bursting with homophones, sneaky double-meanings, and other linguistic tricks. The crosswords have no obscure vocabulary, just clever and inventive themes that will keep readers guessing until they’ve filled in the very last square. Here’s just a sampling of what Silvestri has in store for solvers: What 12 letters mean "Turn down trash?” Why, REFUSE REFUSE, of course! There’s a ton of verbal calisthenics to keep every brain sharp.

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.
