5.0 out of 5 stars The best one I tried., September 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossword Puzzle Dictionary: Sixth Edition (Hardcover)

I got interested in crossword puzzles a year ago. Bought all the books. This is the best helper I tried. In the beginning I relied on it constantly. Now, I find that, through it, I have learned and can go it alone most of the time (which means Monday-Thursday and often on Sunday for those of you who do the NYT).

We bougth the fifth editon back in 1986. The pages are worn thin, and have separated from the spine but we can't be without it.The BEST book of its kind available to ardent crossworders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in its genre!, January 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Crossword Puzzle Dictionary: Sixth Edition (Paperback)

I have not found a crossword puzzle dictionary which compares. The words included are highly relevant and they are nicely organized into logical categories and subcategories. Even the Swanfeldt dictionary doesn't guarantee success with the NY Times crossword puzzle, but it will give you a fighting chance.
