Four books for every theme
Each theme is published as four puzzle books, each in a standard and a large print edition, so there are eight books to choose from and somewhere to go next when you finish one. Every book has 100 puzzles.
Word Search
100 themed word searches built from the names, teams, places, and milestones of the theme. Every word list is on theme, and every grid is solved in full at the back.
Cryptograms
100 coded sentences, names, and titles about the women of the theme, each page with an A to Z key strip so there is room to work the code out. The solutions at the back give each answer in full.
Variety Puzzle Book
A sampler of the three puzzle types, crosswords, word searches, and cryptograms, plus scrambled words, which appear only in this book. 25 of each type, 100 in all, arranged by difficulty, and every puzzle is exclusive to the variety book.
Standard edition
6 x 9 inches, the size that travels.
Large print edition
The same book set larger on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, with grids and type sized to stay comfortable to read and to write in.
- Easy
- Medium
- Hard
- Expert
Every book runs from easy to expert in four named tiers, so it opens gently and still has something left at the end.
