Best Crossword Reference Book

I think this update is one of their best. I like the way it is set up and the bold face lettering of the word I'm looking for. I'm a big daily crossword worker and at my age this is a way of broadening my vocabulary after retirement. I recommend this book for any age.

Useful Dictionary

This is a wonderful help when doing Crossword Puzzles. When I am completely stuck on a word this is a valuable help to me.

A very good tool

My wife and I are very eager to work on crossword puzzles. So we need good tools to help us solve them. The Merriam-Webster's Crossword Puzzle Dictionary offers us that tool. The very clear entries are alphabetically viewed. The expanded new entries offer more information to solve puzzles. The comprehensive coverage of words are very useful. The only problem is that the print is too small.
