Book Description
These puzzles - taken from the celebrated pages of The New Yorker magazine - offer more challenges per 'empty square' than the average crossword! Every cryptic has a twist, a little something extra, a double-dose of difficulty. That's because the clues all have two parts: a definition half and a wordplay half, with anagrams, reversals, containers, and lots of other word games built in. For example, here's a clue: 'Reportedly lost in fog. (4 letters).' Got it? It's 'mist' - a homonym for 'missed' and also a synonym for 'fog'. An introduction enlightens you on all the intricacies of solving cryptic crosswords, and of course the solutions appear at the end with tricks behind the clues explained. It may take a little practice to get the hang of these, but once you do, you'll be hooked for good!

Book Description
Puzzle fans will welcome this second collection of crossword fun from Richard Silvestri! All crosswords have words...but some are sorely lacking in wordplay. Luckily, this collection has plenty: every theme and many of the clues are bursting with homophones, sneaky double-meanings, and other linguistic tricks. The crosswords have no obscure vocabulary, just clever and inventive themes that will keep readers guessing until they’ve filled in the very last square. Here’s just a sampling of what Silvestri has in store for solvers: What 12 letters mean "Turn down trash?” Why, REFUSE REFUSE, of course! There’s a ton of verbal calisthenics to keep every brain sharp.
