2.0 out of 5 stars NYTimes Crossword Dictionary a Disappointment, March 21, 2000

By	Linda F. Kamzelski (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

When my A-Z Crossword Dictionary fell apart from overuse, I was anxious to try the NYTimes Dictionary. I wish I had ordered another copy of the A-Z instead. In the A-Z, I was able to find more answers, and the foreign word sections were much better than in the Times. Also, the Times Dictionary lists foreign countries in dark gray boxes which make the text very hard to read. Love the NY Times crosswords, but the Dictionary needs work!

2.0 out of 5 stars What's a 12-letter word for sorry I bought this?, November 21, 2002

By A Customer

Disappointed. I am a devoted NYT Sunday puzzle doer. I have done about 4 weeks worth of puzzles since I aquired the book. Of the 50 or so words/terms/places, etc. I have looked up, I found probably 5. This is NOT the crossword puzzle dictionary I remember from years ago, which was tailored to actual multi-word clues, and did not just provide "synonyms" for single word entries.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New York Times Crossword Dictionary, June 6, 2001

By A Customer

This is one of the best dictionaries I have found. It gives the best answers in any category there is. Is there a fourth edition?

This is a good dictionary except that it hasn't been updated since the 1990's so it's missing a lot. But, it still works.

I wish I had not purchased this dictionary. It is totally useless. Not very well organized or categorized. The A-Z Dictionary is much better.
