Download or read book Perplexing Pencil Puzzles written by George Bredehorn and published by Sterling Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 2003 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grab a pencil, pull on your thinking cap and get ready to solve some of the most baffling brain-benders ever. There are puzzles that ask you to fill in blanks, unscramble words, and decipher clues. Try "split decisions" where the only clues are letter pairs, and each answer consists of two words that share certain letters. In "ultimate crossword" puzzles, you need to crack a code to replace numbers with letters. Test your anagram skills with "anagram loops," and see if you can find the five "big words a-hiding" in a grid. "Latticework" puzzles feature words that interlock and fit a given category, and "fill-in station" puzzles ask you to complete a grid with nine given letters so that three-letter words are formed in all places indicated. With 17 types of puzzles and hundreds of challenges, you'll be happily occupied for hours of solving fun.
