Editorial Reviews

Product Description
  • More than 1/3 million answer words
  • Easiest to use
  • Easiest on the eyes

Here is the work that made all other puzzle dictionaries obsolete.Its unique Instant Finder System saves you time-consuming searches through the long, jumbled paragraphs of words that are so common in other crossword puzzle dictionaries. Suppose your clue is a six-letter word for RAGE: just turn to that entry and your eye immediately picks out the bold number 6. Now you can pick your answer from just five words, ignoring the 32 others that can't fit.

And note how the clear type and uncluttered format help make your search quicker and easier!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best one I tried., September 3, 1999
By A Customer
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in its genre!, January 11, 1997
By A Customer
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.
