The 50 puzzles in this volume are all challenging but at the same time, are solvable with patience and perseverance. I could do without the one non-acrostic puzzle in the volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfying Puzzles
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2014
Verified Purchase
Acrostic puzzles are very satisfying, because you can use your knowledge of grammar and syntax as the answers take shape, and you end up with a quote from some book worth reading. These acrostics by Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, edited by Will Shortz of the "New York Times," are the only acrostics I have experienced, and they are very well constructed.

Anacrostics are less and less carried by bookstores. Great to have a place to get them, particularly the more than challenging New York Times version
