A New York Times Puzzle Liar

OK! I admit that I have lied in the past about my ability to 'work' the NY Times puzzle. This dictionary put me in the realm of actually being able to 'work' the puzzles. Easy to use, even for a novice like me and has given me a 'plethora' of info.

Crossword Puzzle Dictionary.

I really enjoy the New York Times Crossword Puzzle Dictionary. It is perfect for taking along on a car trip. Also for doing the crossword puzzle at the end of the day in your hotel room. The dictionary is reasonably priced.

New York Times Crossword Puzzle Dictionary

This is an excellent reference book if you are a crossword puzzle addict such as I am. I have purchased 4 of these, 2 for me and 2 for my Mom. We keep wearing them out. I have tried the other popular dictionaries, but I keep coming back to this one.

Outstanding, but Fourth Edition long overdue

I too have used the excellent Third Edition until it fell into disrepair and had to be replaced, but it was published in 1995, a decade ago. The current Times Crossword Editor, Will Shortz, says the puzzle has changed significantly. It's high time the dictionary be revised and updated too! When will we get a Fourth Edition?

The New York Times Crossword Dictionary

This is one of the best dictionaries I have found. It gives the best answers in any category there is. Is there a fourth edition?
