DECENT CRYPTOGRAM PUZZLE BOOK,
By
This review is from: Large Print Cryptograms (Spiral-bound)
I have not had the same experience with this book as the poster with the title of "Disappointing". I have not found any letters that are encoded to be the same as the actual letter in the word as of yet. Then again, I am only on Puzzle 75 too so I may encounter it later. So far, I have encountered easy to intermediate puzzles providing me with some funny quips. The only problem I have found with my copy of this book is pages 14 & 15 are the same as pages 16 & 17. Meaning puzzles 13-18 are repeated. All in all I have had fun with this book and would recommend it to those who are just looking to have an entertaining experience with a puzzle and not worry about stressing out over figuring out a letter. If you want hard cryptograms, I recommend "Hard To Solve Cryptograms" put out by the National Puzzlers League and published by Sterling.

Disappointing,

This review is from: Large Print Cryptograms (Spiral-bound)
I love cryptograms. I'm as addicted to them as some people are to Sudoku. But I found this book very disappointing. Not only are they all the same level-- extremely easy-- but many of them contain letters that are not in code. In other words, instead of writing an "e" as, say, an "s," the cryptogram simply uses an "e." Where's the fun in that? I also found some of the solutions (quotations from famous people) somewhat dull. What I really like is "Funny Cryptograms," one of those page-a-day calendars. The book "Humorous Crypotgrams" is also pretty good.

Excellent format, very enjoyable, plus the spiral binding makes it comfortable to work with. I look for that.
