Two-In-One Crosswords: Hard And Easy Clues For Every Puzzle [Spiral-bound]

J. Baxter Newgate (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 31, 2000 | Series: Crossword

Crossword beginners and crossword experts unite! There's finally a book that's right for both of you. With this unique two-in-one format that divides the pages into top and bottom segments, every crossword has a double set of clues: easier ones give newcomers a fighting chance to feel the triumph of finishing the grid, while harder hints make sure experienced solvers get the challenge they relish. And no one will feel frustrated by being unable to answer anything--or bored by crosswords that don't stimulate the mind. Here's an example of a difficult clue for a 9-letter word. "There's no interest in it." Got it? If not, try this: "Head of an elementary school." And remember--with more than 40 puzzles to practice on, you may just be ready for the "big time" before you've finished the book! Answer: Principal. 96 pages, 8 x 10.

These puzzles kept me going while I've been in the hospital. Can't wait to get out so I can buy some more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Crossword Book Ever!, April 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Two-In-One Crosswords: Hard And Easy Clues For Every Puzzle (Spiral-bound)

This is truly the best crossword book that I have ever worked. Having the choice of easy or hard clues just made it so much fun. I often leave at least a few puzzles unfinished before tossing a book, but I finished every single word of every puzzle in this book. I also loved the paper quality in this book. Pencil erased very well from it, so it was easy to correct mistakes. The size and weight of the book also makes it a perfect travel companion. I would love to see more of these books released --- this was the best!!

The two-in-one format is brilliant. Does anyone know if Newgate has published other books like this? If so, please post here. And the puzzles are super-challenging. In both formats.
