Extremely useful reference guide for the crossword aficionado.

I got a lot of use out of this one. The spine cracked and hubby taped it twice. Then it came apart and I had to look clues up in two separate volumes: A to Ind. and Ire. to Z. I am going to part with it now, but I do recommend it to my fellow cruciverbalists.

I haven't read all of this but is helpful to those that can't spell. However I didn't really need it.

[Susan Hall]

A must for avid crossword lovers ,but can not find every word I'm searching for.

So far, I've been really disappointed in this dictionary. I think it had only one of the last dozen words we looked up. I don't think it's geared for a more advanced audience of crossworders.
