    Word puzzles are fun, but just as important, they also have a hidden educational benefit. They help students of a new language learn vocabulary and word meanings easily and efficiently. Spanish speakers who are learning English as a second language will find this book's puzzles challenging, fun to solve, and ideal for expanding and developing their English language vocabulary. It presents several different kinds of word puzzles: crosswords; word crosses in which readers match words to pictures; scrambled letter puzzles with appropriate clues; and cryptograms, in which diagrams filled with letters contain hidden words arranged vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. All questions and clues are printed in Spanish, but all answers must be in English. Puzzles are arranged in order of difficulty, beginning with Easy crosswords, word crosses, scrambled letters, and cryptograms, then progressing in the same order of puzzle types to Moderate Level, then to Tough Puzzles, and finally to Challenging Puzzles. The back of this intriguing book contains answers to all puzzles, as well as grammar notes and an alphabetical word finder list. There are 100 challenging puzzles in total....

    In his preface to this volume, Roger Angell calls Allan Miller "the Dr. Leakey of the two-way whatsit." We realize that the world of palindrome is probably a bit circumscribed, defined by a narrow band of fanatics who find as much satisfaction in a gem like "Sununu's tonsil is not Sununu's" as the civilized would in the discovery of a new planet. But this is a book for both the aficionado and the beginner, a delightful compendium of "a furtive collection of letters which, weirdly and all on its own, resembles itself perfectly when looked at from the other end."



Expanding on the possibilities inherent in Miller's often dotty combinations are the dashing and madcap drawings of Lee Lorenz, cartoonist for the past art editor of The New Yorker.



This little book is meant to be fun, but it also serves a higher purpose. We're not entirely sure what that purpose is, but as the author observes, "Our Muse looks after her own: Revere Her Ever."...
