This is a book of word puzzles for adult members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It's a fun way to learn & test your knowledge about ancient and Latter-Day prophets, temples & other Gospel topics. The Word Sleuth format is a little different than your average word search & word unscrambles, adding another level of challenge. Teens could enjoy these as well.

I received an ARC e-book from Cedar Fort Publishing to read & review. All opinions are my own.

This is not a reading book, but a FUN book. It has various word puzzles, and each one requires a little bit of time to solve. The puzzles are not super easy, but certainly are not hard either. It would be a good activity for older children to work on together, and it would also be a good activity for an elderly person to keep the brain active. You may want to use a light touch with a pencil so you can erase answers when finished and have the fun all over again!!

What a fun book. I liked doing some of the puzzles. I know our grandchildren will love the word puzzles too. I plan to copy them and let them use them on vacation as an activity. I love that doing these fun activities reinforces our love of prophets and other aspects of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Such an entertaining book.

I was given an advanced copy, but this did not affect my review.

This is a great book for those who like word games! There's a good variety in this little book and I like how every puzzle is based on prophets/apostles lives or the scriptures! My mom, who loves to do brain puzzles, would love this!! I think it'd be a great present. I recieved an advanced copy of Word Sleuth but these opinions and words are my own!
