EDITORIAL REVIEW



With more than 1,000,000 answers, this volume contains more than twice as many answers as any other crossword dictionary. More important, it is the first crossword dictionary ever to comprehensively cover the clues and answers that actually appear in today's most popular crosswords, including contemporary slang, phrases, and brand names.



Meticulously compiled by two crossword professionals with a combined thirty years in the field, and based on a massive analysis of current crosswords, there has never been a crossword dictionary with the breadth, depth, and currency of this one. From Jim Carrey to Sister Carrie, Homer Simpson to Homer's Iliad, the wide-ranging entries include 500,000+ synonyms, 3,000+ literary works, 5,000+ films, 20,000+ famous people from all fields, and more than 100,000 fill-in-the-blank clues so popular in today's crosswords.



Featuring an introduction by New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz, The Million Word Crossword Dictionary makes every other crossword dictionary obsolete.

I'm a crossword puzzle fanatic (scrabble too) and refer ro this book often.Very helpful for unusual words.Every home with puzzlers should have one.

Has it all

This is a great crossword puzzle book, it has it all (movie casts, oscar winners, etc). Very user friendly - in numerical order with the number of letters listed. Only complaint is it only goes up to 2003, might be time for a revise.

Indispensable for th serious crossword puzzler!

If you do crosswords and like me aren't an ace puzzle completer, this book is a great reference tool! If you like to do crosswords in bed, on the couch, outside drinking a pina colada--then this book is great! It hasn't been updated since 2005 which is a real shame. The computerized programs are not always at your finger tips when you are puzzling.

Sadly lacking

I bought this book as a gift and when it was received there were several pages missing. In order to get a new book, I had to jump through hoops and have the person I bought the book for send it back with authorization papers and crap. If the book is not recieved back in a certain time frame, I will be charged for it and the new replacement as well. This is a rinky dink operation and I'm sorry I ordered the book from you in the first place.

Excellent Reference

My husband and I do the Wall Street Journal and New York Times crossword puzzles. We have worn out two other crossword puzzle reference books which were pretty good, but I decided to try this one and it is the best we've had yet.
