Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The New York Times Sunday crossword---now accessible for all solvers!

The New York Times Sunday crossword is the world's most famous and popular puzzle--and for good reason: The giant-size grids, inventive themes, and creative, challenging clues have made it an enduring feature since its inception in 1942. Now, there's a new way to try the Times Sunday crossword! In The New York Times Super Sunday Crossword Puzzles, fifty of the best Will Shortz-edited creations have been printed with both the original, hard clues that appeared in the paper and brand-new, easier clues edited by Shortz for solvers who want to try a lesser challenge.

So whether you feel like trying the original puzzles or giving the new, easier versions a go, why not brew a cup of coffee, sharpen a pencil, and prepare to try the most famous puzzles in the world.

Synopsis:

The Sunday Crossword of "The New York Times" has been a beloved fixture since its inception in 1942, but "the Holy Grail" of crossword puzzling has always proved intimidating to those not fortified by years of solving experience.

Synopsis:

500 puzzles; the biggest collection of Sunday crosswords (the Times' most popular) EVER.  Everything about the New York Times Supersized Book of Sunday Crosswords is, well, supersized.  At one hour per puzzle (that's pretty fast!), eight hours of solving per day, it would still take two months of solid solving to finish this book.
