Word Searches and More

illustrated puzzles introduce youngsters to a menagerie of African animals, birds of prey, and other creatures of land, sea, and air.

Word search puzzles don't get much better than this." —Will Shortz, Puzzlemaster for National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition"Add a touch of wackiness to ordinary word search fun for a little extra challenge. Instead of ordinary squares and rectangles, these puzzles come in really wild shapes or have an entertaining twist. Each word search has a theme to go along with the distinctive picture; for example, a grid in the shape of a smiley face has clues that deal with being happy. A tulip puzzle features flowers as its subject. In addition, 10 puzzles have special gimmicks: in three rebuses, little symbols replace certain letter combinations (such as a picture of a teacup in place of T-E-A). “Movie Editing” plays a little game with Hollywood films, by giving them a one-word title change to create a very different plot.

You'll need an eagle eye to complete these 60 challenging themed word searches: "White on Schedule" contains words of things that are white--such as mashed potatoes and underwear. Some of the grids break out of the traditional box. "Off and Running" is shaped like a horse and contains references to horse racing, while "Give me a Break!" is mug-shaped with words and phrases associated with coffee. There are puzzles to challenge your thinking skills. To complete "Bad Ideas for Movie Sequels" you'll need your knowledge of movies as well as your sense of humor, and for "Abbr.-ations" you'll need to decipher abbreviations to come up with the word list. In "Black Hole" puzzles, the letters in the center of the grid are missing, and once you've figured out what they are, they'll spell out a quip. A fun way to sharpen your powers of observation.

"You can be sitting in the train working a puzzle but it can take you far away from the everyday. Before you know it you're at your stop or about to pass it. It's not like you were even in the train. It's something different, something removed from the ordinary." --Maki Kaji, The Japanese TimesThis collection offers traditional word searches, along with a popular variation called Word Roundup, which gives only clues to the words hidden within the puzzle; the actual words are for solvers to figure out.
