i find this dictionary to be an absolute godsend it has a section at the back every known 6,7,8,9,10 letter word in it, a very worthwhile investment for any crossworder

Useful to beginners

I bought this crossword dictionary about 20 years ago when I was starting out with doing crosswords. I haven't looked at it in years as it just seems like cheating. One word of caution, the binding is rather flimsy. My copy lost a few pages over the course of normal use.
