The book itself is great, it helps out a lot & it’s impressive how many words it has. My only complaint that’s not a super huge deal is just the ink blotch on some of the words. The picture I posted is the worst one, where you can’t see the word at all. The others you can figure it out. Not really an issue for Amazon but more of the Merriam-Webster company. Still overall a great product!

I enjoy crossword puzzles, but have a hard time with them unless they specify that they are easy. I just got this book today. Very comprehensive and easy to read. Don't get the "mass market" copy. The print will be too small. I know this book is going to give me a lot of help to complete the puzzles.

I bought for my grandmother who is 87 and does crosswords all day everyday. I have looked through it and the words are laid out in an easy way. She did tell me she looked up a word finally and it was not in there, but she is always finding something wrong with something and I still think its a great buy for daily or occasional users.

This was purchased to replace a very old A-Z crossword book. Sadly though, I found several words that were in the A-Z book but not in the new one. I will keep it however as it is much easier to find answers than in the A-Z book.

I am very happy that I purchased the Merriam-Webster Crossword Puzzle Dictionary, 4th edition, in the enlarged print edition. The larger font is great, especially for us older users, and the increased information increases my ability to finish my beloved crosswords. Highly recommended to all people who love doing crossword puzzles, but especially for older folk who need the larger font size.

I am a cryptic cxrossword fan. This dictionary is a great help because when you look up a word which you think is the definition in a cryptic clur it sorts the answers by the number of letters in the answers it gives. Great help.

I bought this for my mom who is in her eighties when her dictionary fell apart. She loves it and says it is far better than a dictionary. She's become a crossword champion! I've had to buy another for the mother-in-law.
