For me, these puzzles are not to be solved, they are to be studied. Miscellaneous knowledge, lots of witty definitions, beautiful interlocks.

1.0 out of 5 stars item misrepreesnted as NEW...it had been used

I paid for an unused puzzle book. If the book had been carefully perused prior to shipment, it would have been OBVIOUS that the very first puzzle in the book had been partially filled in. It will make me reluctant to order in the future.

2.0 out of 5 stars If these are really Saturday puzzles

then the Saturday puzzle has gotten a lot tougher in present days. A few of these puzzles are indeed difficult -or have truly obscure words, but most are more like Wednesday or Thursday puzzles, and a few even contain Thursday-like gimmicks.

Puzzles are too easy. I gave them to my husband, whose first language was not English. He has a harder time solving puzzles than I.
