American Cryptic Puzzles - Paperback

by Robert B. Dewell (Author)

Tired of doing the same old crossword puzzles? Switch to puzzles with cryptic clues! American Cryptic Puzzles are intended to introduce an American audience to British-style cryptic clues - i.e., clues that combine straightforward definitions with wordplay such as puns and anagrams. This volume presumes that solvers are not yet familiar with cryptic clues, and it leads them gradually into a rich and enjoyable new world of puzzles. It contains 22 crosswords with cryptic clues, as well as 22 CryptiQuotes (anacrostics with cryptic clues).
