Puzzles

The crostics are harder than I thought they would be, but it is a good set of puzzles.

Danger! Crostic addicts alert!

If you have to go to work tomorrow, don't open this book after 10 p.m. You may be awake 'til the a.m. hours! These crostics are challenging and fun for the word puzzle lover who likes to go a step beyond crosswords to solve a quote and author puzzle. There are even a few cryptic acrostics - a triple treat!
