All these puzzles are based on wordplay - puns, anagrams and linguistic trickery; Written by a former editor of America's Crossword Magazine; An official MENSA puzzle book A former editor of Crossword magazine who has constructed more than 500 published puzzles takes crosswords to a new, extra-entertaining, and more challenging level. Richard Silvestri, a self-confessed wordplay addict, adds a little spice to the solving by inserting puns, anagrams, and other linguistic trickery into the clues and their answers. Some of the crosswords feature homophones, others include heteronyms, and still more have letter-shifts and transposals. For example, a puzzle called Give It a Wrest features lots of silent-W puns: Extremely good craftsman? - DIVINE WRIGHT; Chief towel-twister? - LORD OF THE WRINGS; and Gun moll's shawl? - GANGSTER WRAP. Puzzlemeisters will have lots of fun with these.

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.

A journalist and word aficionado salutes the 100-year history and pleasures of crossword puzzles Since its debut in The New York World on December 21, 1913, the crossword puzzle has enjoyed a rich and surprisingly lively existence. Alan Connor, a comic writer known for his exploration of all things crossword in The Guardian, covers every twist and turn: from the 1920s, when crosswords were considered a menace to productive society; to World War II, when they were used to recruit code breakers; to their starring role in a 2008 episode of The Simpsons. He also profiles the colorful characters who make up the interesting and bizarre subculture of crossword constructors and competitive solvers, including Will Shortz, the iconic New York Times puzzle editor who created a crafty crossword that appeared to predict the outcome of a presidential election, and the legions of competitive puzzle solvers who descend on a Connecticut hotel each year in an attempt to be crowned the American puzzle-solving champion. At a time when the printed word is in decline, Connor marvels at the crossword’s seamless transition onto Kindles and iPads, keeping the puzzle one of America’s favorite pastimes. He also explores the way the human brain processes crosswords versus computers that are largely stumped by clues that require wordplay or a simple grasp of humor. A fascinating examination of our most beloved linguistic amusement—and filled with tantalizing crosswords and clues embedded in the text—The Crossword Century is sure to attract the attention of the readers who made Word Freak and Just My Type bestsellers.
