Description

Tackling word puzzles is a great tactic to keep your mind in tip-top shape!

Studies show that one way to be sure your brain stays at its best is to learn new things regularly, creating new neural connections. This book offers a fun way to do just that, with a variety of word puzzles that require solvers to reorient their perspective and think differently about language.

One-third of the book features Split Decisions, a popular puzzle type that author Fred Piscop contributes regularly to the New York Times. The rest of the book is a mix of other puzzles: Bits & Pieces, where solvers answer clues using and reusing blocks of letters; Clueless Crosswords, featuring grids partly filled in so that there is only one possible way to complete them; Double Exposure, which tests pattern recognition in two different ways; Mixagrams, where words are interwoven in a simple yet confounding way; and Two by Two, in which each grid contains only two consonants... but you have to figure out which.
