Download or read book Mensa Cryptic Crosswords 2 written by Emily Cox and published by Sterling Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Mensa(R) comes a series of super-challenging puzzles that go way beyond the average crossword--and also offer an authentic treasure-trove of wordplay demanding some skilled solving. Here's how they go: each clue has two parts. One is the normal definition of an answer, while the other features a little linguistic playfulness--maybe an anagram, perhaps a pun, and sometimes even a word written backward. And the hitch is...there's usually no indication of which comes first, or punctuation to mark the division. You've got to see through the clue-maker's deceptions and tease out the correct answer by rethinking the clue's wording. Some of the irresistible language trickery includes double definitions, hidden answers, homophones, and containers.

Download or read book National Puzzlers League Cryptic Crosswords written by Joshua Kosman and published by Random House Puzzles & Games. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Puzzlers' League (NPL) was founded in 1883 and is the oldest puzzlers' organization in the world. For over 100 years, crosswords and other word puzzles that appear in the NPL's monthly magazine, The Enigma, could be enjoyed only by NPL members. Now, for the first time, a selection of the league's favorite cryptic crosswords is available in book form for puzzle fans everywhere to enjoy. Unlike regular crossword puzzles, each clue in a cryptic crossword has two parts--one that's straightforward and one that involves one or more types of wordplay--and part of the fun is determining which part is which and what type of wordplay is involved. For example, Shoestring allowances lead to tears (11) is a cryptic clue for LACERATIONS. The straightforward part of the clue is tears, which is a definition for LACERATIONS. The wordplay part of the clue is Shoestring allowances which can be expressed as LACE + RATIONS which lead to LACERATIONS. The number in parentheses tells you the number and length of the answer words--in this case, it's one 11-letter word. Another example, with a different type of wordplay is Rearrange, rearrange ram's front (9) which is a cryptic clue for TRANSFORM. Rearrange is a straightforward definition of TRANSFORM and rearrange ram's front tells you to rearrange, or anagram, the nine letters in ram's front giving you the nine-letter word TRANSFORM. One of most fascinating things about cryptics is that the clues are a combination of tremendous creativity and imagination, on one hand, and strict, formal rules, on the other. This book contains 45 variety cryptics from members of the NPL, many of them by distinguished puzzle authors, as well as a foreword by Will Shortz, the New York Times crossword editor and the NPL's official historian PuzzleMeter: Difficulty--Very Difficult; Style--Contemporary]
