C rossword lovers will welcome this second volume of clever, challenging puzzles by David Levinson Wilk. He has devised 72 crosswords that will test solvers' knowledge of a range of topics, covering a variety of tricky and entertaining themes. For one puzzle, you'll have to know how much every letter of the alphabet scores in Scrabble. In another, words "jump" across black squares, while a third uses the same clues for multiple entries. And, of course, there are plenty of less experimental but equally fun crosswords, with anagrams, puns, hidden words in the grids, and other wordplay.

From Mensa(R) comes a series of super-challenging puzzles that go way beyond the average crossword--and also offer an authentic treasure-trove of wordplay demanding some skilled solving. Here's how they go: each clue has two parts. One is the normal definition of an answer, while the other features a little linguistic playfulness--maybe an anagram, perhaps a pun, and sometimes even a word written backward. And the hitch is...there's usually no indication of which comes first, or punctuation to mark the division. You've got to see through the clue-maker's deceptions and tease out the correct answer by rethinking the clue's wording. Some of the irresistible language trickery includes double definitions, hidden answers, homophones, and containers.
