A lot for crossword puzzlers to love
Reviewed in the United States on 11-09-2022
This exhaustive work is 1336 pages of wonderful help for crossword puzzle addicts. No single book has everything puzzle freaks need and this one,as big as it is, still doesn't have the whole works. It does have an awful lot though. It's just one weapon I use in my fight to complete the daily crossword puzzle..

Thorough and Extremely Useful

I love this dictionary because it gives me so many options. I get to think my way through the choices until I find the right one. And since I work my puzzles in pencil (yeah, I'm not a crossword genius, at least not yet), if I choose the wrong word, I can change it.

It's definitely worth the investment.
