Not Great

This crossword dictionary is somewhat helpful. I like that it's large and easy to read. I also like that alternate words are listed by length. I bought this because it's a Merriam - Webster, a name I've always associated with good quality. However, I'm highly dissatisfied with the dictionary. It promotes itself as one of the most comprehensive crossword dictionaries available yet some basic words are not even included. I would not recommend this at all.

I received this book on time and in perfect condition. It's an OK book, but at the same time I bought THE MILLION WORD CROSSWORD DICTIONARY,which has proven itself to be absolutely unbeatable insofar as helping solve crossword puzzles.

Best crossword dictionary

I truly enjoy the crossword dictionary. It is very bulky, but that's because it has thousands of word definitions. I saw them at Target and they were a few dollars more. Great buy through amazon!

Helpful, not great

My husband & I have discovered a newfound love for crossword puzzles and, well, needed some help. This dictionary was about 40-50% helpful when we absolutely had to "cheat". We did find a lot of other useful trivia that we learned while looking for answers. Not bad, not the best. Just average and okay. Price was about what it was worth.
