Comprehensive - Not Just a Bunch of Words

I love this crossword dictionary because it has separate categories for coins, all kinds of information about states .. nicknames, capitals, state flowers, etc., countries, gods and goddesses, Shakespeare, music terminology, elements, weights and measures, all types of animals, sports teams, US Presidents, etc. The list goes on. These are the pesky things you can't find in a regular crossword dictionary. This is the only crossword dictionary I have found like this, and I have searched far and wide. Recommend.

I received a copy of the Dell Crossword Dictionary several years ago as a gift and I used it so much that I completely wore it out. I had sections of it fastened together with elastic bands and other sections scotch taped as I was unable to find a replacement anywhere. Finally, it occurred to me that Amazon might have it. End of story.

Wayne Robert Williams must have spent many hours rearranging what I recall as my very favorite Dell Crossword Dictionary. It will take me many hours to become accustomed to this version. Hopefully it won't discourage my enthusiasm for crossword puzzles.

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have had this dictionary for years, and just had to replace it, as it was used so much it was falling apart!! It is an amazing source of info for crossword puzzles, and I would tell anyone who does crosswords to try and purchase it.
Unfortunatley tho, I could not find it available on Amazon.ca (Canada)

A Different Dictionary

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2011

Verified Purchase

The Dell Crossword Dictionary is different from any other. Besides a small section which is like others, it has sections like an almanac, plus a unique section of 3- and 4-letter words in sequence by both 1st and 2nd letter and another letter. I highly recomend it as the best second crossword dictionary for any affectionado to own.

Read all information!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is not what was advertised in the description. Make sure you read the full description both in the Title description and the full product description as well. I bought this product for my dad and in the title description it says it is a "21st Century Reference" and it even says that on the book,however, on arrival this product was the same exact book in which my father already had; which was the 1995 version.(We looked inside once we received it, and the last president inside this book was former President Clinton.) Yes, the book was in great shape, a lot better shape than my dad's book; so he decided to keep it. But, I think the pictures should be displayed what the books are, so the customers are not misled. In this case, I think that's what happened. I was both confused on this product, and mislead. In order to get the book you want, you have to read every piece of information about every book you see in order to be sure you are getting the book you need.

It is not as useful as the one by Andrew Swanfeldt. This is more like a Thesaurus.

Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2013

I purchased this as a replacement of the earlier version which got extremely worn and well used. Other crossword dictionaries may claim to have more, but I have found to be not as well organized and laid out.

Excellent resource.
