Best Word Puzzle Book Ever.

This is not just another book of jumbles and word searches and x-word puzzles. The word in the title 'Perplexing' really describes this book. The puzzles are of different types, from my favorite type called 'Split Decision' where an x-word-like maze is presented showing 2 or 3 common letters shared by two words and the object of the puzzle is to determine the missing letters. There are 10 other types of word puzzles, all challenging and entertaining. I am very sorry to have just discovered that this is the only volume of its type currently in print. I hope MENSA and the author, George Bredhorn, publish another volume. A delightful pasttime.
