Puzzlesnacks More than 100 Clever, Bite-Sized Puzzles For Every Solver by Eric Berlin
Starts with a table of contents with chapters of intro, puzzles, hints and answers.
Intro talks about how this book was created with help from his daughter.
Everyday words and some twists make this a good brain games, shortened from the size of NY Times daily puzzles, just a snack.
I like the different layouts and how to work the puzzles is given prior to the puzzles.
This would be a perfect book for an older child to bring on the plane because you need a bit of concentration but you'd be moving along at a good speed, solving the puzzles.
Extra content included at the end. Looks very complicated when you first open the book and glance through the pages, patience it is very easy and simple to solve the puzzles.
A KEEPER!
Received this review copy from Tiller Press via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

This was a great fun puzzle book that I won in a giveaway! I have memory problems and word retrieval issues due to trauma and these puzzles have been great for me to do to help with these issues. My daughter is also autistic and she has always enjoyed working on puzzles so this is a great book for her to do as well, thank you so much!

If you like brain challenging games that you can solve without having many hints, then this is the book for you. I found these so fun to do. Would make a great gift for that person who loves brain games.

I love puzzle books and this one was great. These were the perfect size. They were hard enough to keep my brain busy but short enough that I could finish one in one sitting and felt accomplished. I really enjoyed the puzzles I completed. The Gotta Split puzzles are working my brain- so much fun!

This was a fun way to spend some time, as the puzzles challenged, but didn't frustrate me. I highly recommend this book!

This is the perfect puzzle book to keep handy so you can 'snack' on the various puzzles when time permits. The history nehond this book's creation is provided which was interesting. This is the perfect gift book for puzzle lovers and will make a perfect travel companion. I can't wait for publication as it will be one of must haves for the end of summer! I have my pencil sharpened and ready to go!
I received an advanced ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I honestly love this book!

I love Eric Berlin's puzzles, so I'm super excited that he's made a whole book of them! He's put in a variety of kinds of word puzzles, so readers won't get bored, though the types do repeat, allowing room for learning and growth. These are loads of fun, without the impossible-to-solve jargon or things only your grandparents would know. Perfect for middle grade to adult solvers!

When I was growing up my grandpa subscribed to a magazine called Games. This reminds me of a large edition of that magazine’s word games.
Fun. Some are easier than others. I’ve found that if I get stumped on one puzzle, I’ll move on. Solve a few others. Then go back as being away from a puzzle for a bit generally lets me something new I hadn’t seen before.
If you like word puzzles, you’ll like this book. If you prefer other types of puzzles, this isn’t the one for you.
