Easiest to use
Easiest on the eyes

Here is the work that made all other puzzle dictionaries obsolete. Its unique Instant Finder System saves you time-consuming searches through the long, jumbled paragraphs of words that are so common in other crossword puzzle dictionaries. Suppose your clue is a six-letter word for RAGE: just turn to that entry and your eye immediately picks out the bold number 6. Now you can pick your answer from just five words, ignoring the 32 others that can't fit.

And note how the clear type and uncluttered format help make your search quicker and easier!

I have used it for many years.

I ordered a crossword puzzle dictionary for my mother who loves working crossword puzzles. Her old dictionary was dilapidated and all apart. The one I ordered from Housing Works Bookstore through Amazon said it was in very good condition. The price was good. When it arrived at my mothers apartment, there were 65 pages missing from it. I contacted Housing Works Bookstore and they apologized for the condition of the book and immediately refunded the total cost including shipping to Amazon. Amazon refunded the money to my account which had been closed. Since the account was closed the money did not go in. I sent my new account information to Amazon and they immediately refunded the entire cost to the new account. It was understandable that a book with pages missing could "slip through the cracks" at Housing Works Bookstore. When they refunded my entire cost they went above and beyond what most internet retailers do these days. I commend Housing Works Bookstore and Amazon both for doing the right thing. I would deal with either of them again and probably will.

Excellent Crossword Dictionary

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014

This is our second copy of this particular crossword dictionary. My husband and I both do crossword puzzles and have found this dictionary to be one of the best. We used our first copy for many years and finally wore it out. We were very happy to find that this version of Andrew Swanfeldt's Crossword Puzzle Dictionary was still available. It's very comprehensive and the clues are laid out by the number of letters contained in the word. For instance if you know you need a five letter word, you can immediately go to the clues listed under the number 5 and skip over the 3 or 4 letter words. We have other crossword dictionaries but this one is our favorite. We highly recommend it.

Would like to purchase this

Would like to purchase this, but it is out of print and the publisher isn't printing any more of them. The one I have is falling apart. I have used it for many years and when I went to the book store to replace it, they told me it was out of print. I looked in your website and found the same answer.
Someone should tell the prublisher that this is a really good reference for doing crossword puzzles. The seperate sections on, Names, God's & Godesses, Alphabets, etc. are really useful.

Crossword Puzzle Dictionary by Andrew Swanfeldt

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

I had an older version of this book in paperback. I like the fact that they give the four letter words in a group, etc. This was a hardback version and very reasonable, although used. Good condition. Have found it very helpful, mostly because of the number of letters are all in one grouping. Used is the way to go.

Abridged version

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

Really helpful book for a crossword fanatic. But I didn't realize is was an abridged version - also the printing is tiny and not so easy to read. Some lists for words have been left out - I know this as I have the original version but as this was falling to pieces with so much use I decided to replace it.

Judy S.

Love this book!

I had this book before and wore it out. I was unable to find it at the local bookstore so was happy to see you had it.
I do many word puzzles, not just crosswords and it is invaluable to me.
