Why is my brain sizzling ? Nov 29, 2007
Great brain buster, I don't know how can one finish even an easy NY times crossword without an encyclopedia...as in Wikipedia...

For those of us that know our limitations! Jun 12, 2007
For those that don't know: the answers are int he back, six to a page. Some may have trouble with this and feel the desire to glance at the other answers on the page. If you are doing the puzzles in order, you may glance and remember an answer.
The book is spiral bound, so it lays nice and flat, unlike those that are cheap and glue-bound like a magazine.
Printed on newsprint-like paper, which makes it even lighter and packable. This book is much better than those cheap $1 crossword puzzles you find in the store.

A whole spectrum of difficulty levels! Feb 07, 2007
Hooray! A crossword book that has easy AND hard puzzles, each clearly labeled, so you can work your way up as you get smarter (sadly, I'm still a Tuesday girl).
If you're tired of Dell/Penny Press crossword books which are full of repeating, unimaginative clues, the NY Times crosswords will definitely bend your brain in a new way.
AND, if you love crosswords, be sure to check out the film Wordplay, featuring Will Shortz!

Heavy lifting here! Jan 31, 2007
30 Jan 2007
TGIM - Standing for "Thank God it's Monday" would be an appropriate exclamation every five (5) pages.
I must confess that I have to ask for a little help with a word here or there on Fridays. The rest of the week is manageable.

Difficulty Noted - Very Nice! Nov 27, 2005
In the past, most of the NY Times Crossword books were either themed collections or just general collections. There are the Sunday Crossword Books, as well as Will Shortz's Most Difficult Puzzle Books, but this book has a great advantage: You can tell immediately by the day of the week how difficult the puzzle is going to be. Want a quickie? Do a Monday! Want a toughie? Do a Friday. I often like the Wednesday or Thursday puzzles because they have fun gimmicks, but aren't too difficult. This book makes it easy to find them!
