Product Description
Product Description
Anyone who regularly tackles challenging crossword puzzles will be familiar with the frustration of unanswered clues blocking the road to completion. Together in one bumper volume, Crossword Lists and Crossword Solver provide the ultimate aid for tracking down those final solutions. The Lists section contains more than 100,000 words and phrases, listed both alphabetically and by number of letters, under category headings such as Volcanoes, Fungi, Gilbert & Sullivan, Clouds, Cheeses, Mottoes, and Archbishops of Canterbury. As intersecting solutions provide letters of the unanswered clue, locating the correct word or phrase becomes quick and easy. The lists are backed up with a comprehensive index, which also guides the puzzler to associated tables - e.g. Film Stars; try Stage and Screen Personalities. The Solver section contains more than 100,000 potential solutions, including plurals, comparative and superlative adjectives, and inflections of verbs. The list extends to first names, place names, technical terms, compound expressions, abbreviations, and euphemisms.Grouped according to number of letters - up to fifteen - this section is easy to use and suitable for all levels of crossword puzzle. At the end a further 3,000 words are listed by category, along with an index of unusual words.

Format:Paperback
This book has proved incredibly helpful in solving both crosswords and quizzes. It is well laid out and covers a wide range of areas - such as geography, animals, people,arts, history, science etc as well as lists of words of 2 letters up to 15 letters, two word phrases, rhymes etc. I find it so interesting I sometimes find myself just reading the book and forgetting to do my crossword! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys completing quizzes and crosswords. I have not found its equal.

Format:Kindle Edition
I'm sure this is a fabulous book 'in the flesh' but on Kindle it is hopeless. There is no contents list and no index available so it is well nigh impossible to use as you cannot find what you are looking for. Whether this is a glitch I do not know. As far as I am concerned a total waste of money!

The picture makes this book look like two, it acts as 2 just turn it over and they meet in the middle.
Really handy for those awkward crossword clues, had this book for years and it was so dogeared that I had to replace it.
So good I bought it twice!!

It looks like two books but is really a very thick single volume.
Although the two volumes are available separately, they cost as much as or more than this combined volume, so... Read more
