4.0 out of 5 stars fun and challenging
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2010

This was a great find. A wide variety of puzzles with a nice mix of easy, medium, and difficult levels. One bummer: for most of the puzzles, clues are given in English for Spanish answers, and vice versa, and there's not always a way to tell if you've got the right word. Many times I "solved" an entire puzzle, and upon checking the answer (provided in the back of the book) found that the totally correct word I had chosen was not the one preferred right answer. Also, many of the "right" answers were uncommon or outdated words. But I would still recommend this book as great vocabulary practice and lots of fun for word game buffs.

This book features a variety of fun word games using themed Spanish vocabulary. If you are still learning vocabulary, the activities in this book may be a bit too difficult. But you could easily make flashcards to use all that vocab in the book to learn the new words. I'd recommend this to firmly intermediate students of Spanish.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I wanted...
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2012
This book has a wide variety of puzzles but you spend most of your time "decoding" or "unscrambling" before you get to the Spanish words in order to complete the puzzle. Also, several of the pages have really small print so it's difficult to read (even with glasses!) and there's very little room to write answers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could be better!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2014

Lots of puzzles but few types of puzzle - mostly crosswords, anagrams and word searches. Most depend on translation from English to Spanish, so they are quite hard, e.g. The list of animals for one word search included 'mole'.
It would have been better if some puzzles in Spanish had been included, perhaps. Lists/ words in Spanish would have jogged the memory more, rather than desperately searching in the dictionary. Ok but cannot recommend.
