Title: Heavy Book
Review: I don't believe this is as good as the New York Times Crossword dictionary that I replaced because it fell apart. The print size is good, but because it is large print, book is heavy to handle in my easy chair where I usually work on puzzles. Some words are not listed that I think should be.

Title: An updated version with new words added.
Review: I used my previous edition so much that it is falling apart, and this new version will replace it. It is pretty comprehensive if you become familiar with the organization of the book. There are some lists that I would like to have included, such as Greek and Hebrew alphabets and names of months, which seem to come up in clues in puzzles. I've made my own and attached them to the back cover.

Title: finding complex words.
Review: This was purchased to replace a very old A-Z crossword book. Sadly though, I found several words that were in the A-Z book but not in the new one. I will keep it however as it is much easier to find answers than in the A-Z book.

Title: Fantastic Book for those who need help
Review: I enjoy crossword puzzles, but have a hard time with them unless they specify that they are easy. I just got this book today. Very comprehensive and easy to read. Don't get the "mass market" copy. The print will be too small. I know this book is going to give me a lot of help to complete the puzzles.

Review: I am a cryptic cxrossword fan. This dictionary is a great help because when you look up a word which you think is the definition in a cryptic clur it sorts the answers by the number of letters in the answers it gives. Great help.

Review: Bought for my senior dad and he loves it - this is the only one he'll buy.The typeface (font) is large and easy to read which is important because he's dyslexic. Annotations are great and clues/answers are easy to find.He does the NYT crossword daily and goes through one of these every couple of years.

Review: I bought this for my mom who is in her eighties when her dictionary fell apart. She loves it and says it is far better than a dictionary. She's become a crossword champion! I've had to buy another for the mother-in-law.
