Book Description

Publication Date: August 28, 2003 | Series: Los Angeles Times Crosswords (Book 6)

Crossword lovers, rejoice:
There are more fun puzzle-solving challenges coming your way!

You don't have to be an expert solver to enjoy these crosswords. Following on last season's quartet of winning collections from The Los Angeles Times, here are another two popularly priced helpings of puzzle fun from the paper. The great news: these crosswords are more mainstream than the ones in The New York Times, AND each book contains a generous 72 crosswords--not the mere 50 of competing volumes. Plus, they're one dollar less than the competition, so you'll really get more enjoyment for your money. The stay-open, lie-flat, specially reinforced spiral binding makes it easier to work on the puzzles anywhere, too.

This review is from: Los Angeles Times Crosswords 6: 72 Puzzles from the Daily Paper (Paperback)

The crossword puzzles in this collection appeared in the Los Angeles Times daily paper in the middle of 2002. They are tough, those that I tried really challenged me, and I was unable to complete a single one without cheating. The solutions are in the back of the book, which was the only way I could complete them. One other interesting point is that the empty locations form a pattern in most of them. I found myself looking through the puzzles and trying to identify all of the symmetric aspects of the blackened squares. Try the puzzles in this book, you won't be disappointed.
