Excellent for the crossword puzzle fanatic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

Had one of these from the same manufacturer and looked just like this one only it had a lot less pages. It was beginning to fall apart so when I found this one, I immediately got it. A little bulky but I will manage.

I like to do crossword puzzles with my grandkids, but when you look up the words and 7 out of 10 are not in this book, it becomes kind of useless. I wish I had not of bought it, because i just dont use it now

Great Dictionary For Crossword Puzzles

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2021

I received this book as a gift many years ago. I enjoy working Crossword Puzzles although i am not an addict. I just do the one in our newspaper daily. This is the best dictionary for helping with Crossword Puzzles that I have ever seen. One of my daughters has started doing the puzzles daily so I bought this one for her and she loves it.

Smaller print than I expected

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on November 12, 2020

The dictionary is good, my only negative is I thought the print was a little larger. My fault for not investigating properly.

Perfect Crossword Helper

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this Crossword Dictionary for my dad as a gift, as he does a lot of crosswords. He gets stuck on some clues and this has been an ideal helper for him. It's small and compact and easy to store along with his newspapers to use and easy to take with him when he travels. He loves it and would recommend it to all crossword lovers out there.

Needs better layout

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

Comprehensive with a American bias for UK crossworders.
The layout could be better if there was a deeper left page margin, do you don't have to bend the book to read it

Great value

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is a great asset to anyone who enjoys crosswords. You'll find words here not given elsewhere.
I bought the paperback version which has very small print. If used a great deal it will not last very long. Perhaps I should have opted for the hardback. Anyway for the price it's very good value.
