More than 1/3 million answer words
Easiest to use
Easiest on the eyes

Here is the work that made all other puzzle dictionaries obsolete. Its unique Instant Finder System saves you time-consuming searches through the long, jumbled paragraphs of words that are so common in other crossword puzzle dictionaries. Suppose your clue is a six-letter word for RAGE: just turn to that entry and your eye immediately picks out the bold number 6. Now you can pick your answer from just five words, ignoring the 32 others that can't fit.

And note how the clear type and uncluttered format help make your search quicker and easier!

Excellent Crossword Dictionary

This is our second copy of this particular crossword dictionary. My husband and I both do crossword puzzles and have found this dictionary to be one of the best. We used our first copy for many years and finally wore it out. We were very happy to find that this version of Andrew Swanfeldt's Crossword Puzzle Dictionary was still available. It's very comprehensive and the clues are laid out by the number of letters contained in the word. For instance if you know you need a five letter word, you can immediately go to the clues listed under the number 5 and skip over the 3 or 4 letter words. We have other crossword dictionaries but this one is our favorite. We highly recommend it.

Would like to purchase this, but it is out of print and the publisher isn't printing any more of them. The one I have is falling apart. I have used it for many years and when I went to the book store to replace it, they told me it was out of print. I looked in your website and found the same answer.
Someone should tell the prublisher that this is a really good reference for doing crossword puzzles. The seperate sections on, Names, God's & Godesses, Alphabets, etc. are really useful.

Have used this book for many, many years with no other book comparing. After such heavy use, it was time to buy a new copy. Glad to see it still produced!

I have a very old version of this dictionary and the new one is much bigger and not nearly as good as the old one for crossword puzzle help.

I had this book before and wore it out. I was unable to find it at the local bookstore so was happy to see you had it.
I do many word puzzles, not just crosswords and it is invaluable to me.
