Pit
your brain against these 160+ puzzles and give your language
skills a workout. Each puzzle fits onto the 7” x 4¼”
pages and will take about ten minutes to solve, making it
ideal for traveling or any spare moment when you want something
fun yet challenging to do.
This is the companion book to the Logic and Reasoning
book also reviewed on this site and shares the same strengths
and weaknesses. Fortunately this is plenty of the former and
only really one of the latter – the sugar paper, which
is not ideal for much rubbing out. Even this does have a benefit,
however, as it makes the book light to carry around. It’s
smaller format than most magazines means it easily fits into
a bag.
There
is a good range of different word puzzles in here from the
familiar straight crosswords, codewords and fitword types
to anagrams, codes, wordsearches and even riddles. Each puzzle
appears about six to seven times, and each page has a space
to write how long it took you to solve it, plus instructions
and a few tips.
Answers
are at the back, and there is a one page introduction, but
mostly this is all about the puzzles. These are roughly of
the same difficulty level as those in magazines but with the
added bonus of the light weight, small format and rather imaginative
range of puzzles. I can recommend this book to all puzzle
addicts.
