Hard on the brain, easy on the eyes!

Challenging, baffling, and absorbing, these cryptograms are easy to read in large-size print. The strings of seemingly meaningless letters are actually carefully coded messages that will test and stimulate your wordplay skills. You don't have to be a professional code breaker or super spy to figure them out, and there's no need to struggle while reading them. All you have to do is enjoy solving the puzzles!

Large Print Cryptograms #2 by David Nash, Henry Hook, Helen Nash, and Shawn Kennedy offers a delightful collection for puzzle enthusiasts looking to flex their mental muscles while keeping their eyes relaxed.
