Workman Mensa 10-Minute Crossword Puzzles

Liked and ordered for myself. Couldn't find the Daily Mensa Crossword but this will suffice.

I usually buy the Mensa crossword-a-day calendar. In the past couple of years, I've been annoyed by obvious errors that I've found in some puzzles, plus I didn't like writing "around" the plastic calendar holder. So I ordered this book as well as the calendar. Maybe it's because this book was first published in 2011, I have not found any annoying "errors" in it. Some of the cluing may be a bit out of date, but then, so am I. I especially like that Mensa puzzles don't stoop to tricks like requiring you to draw a symbol for a series of letters (like a heart shape where letters H-E-A-R-T are in the middle on an answer), or write a word "backwards", or figure out some silly pun. Also, there aren't a lot of simple filler clues. The book is small, so there's not a lot of room for your hand to rest on the page while you work the puzzle, but I still find it easier than the calendar format. It's easier if you cleanly tear out the completed puzzles every ten pages or so. But the clues for the next puzzle are printed on the back of the puzzle before it, so be sure you don't tear out a page of clues inadvertently.

Bought this for my Mother who spends a lot of time doing crosswords. She loved it and couldn't put it down.

Mrs. Tinman here This is my second time buying this type of book. I keep it in my purse for when I have to wait.

I bought "cross puzzles". It saif used. I thought it meant out of the box, may be wrinkled, or something like that, but I did not expect the first 50 patges to have puzzles already done by someone. and thetrefore useless to me
