This book presents twenty rounds of Guess the Initials quizzes. The idea is quite simple: A common expression including numbers has been simplified to its minimal form, where only the first letter of each word is retained. For example:
24 hours in a day, becomes 24 H in a D.
The challenge is to decipher what the initials stand for. Solving “initialisms” (or “ditloids” as they are sometimes called) requires a combination of general knowledge, lateral thinking, and patience. It’s a great mental workout for people of all ages.
We have collected and created for this book only the most imaginative and challenging initialisms; there are 10 rounds of pure general knowledge puzzles, and 10 bonus rounds with specific themes. Here’s a taster:
General Knowledge: 12 S of the Z Art and Artists: T M L by L d V (The Louvre) Famous Dates: 1989 F of the B W Oscar Winning Films: 12 Y A S (2013) Award Winning Albums and Musicians: A R O B T T H by C (2002)
