Puzzle fans will welcome this second collection of crossword fun from Richard Silvestri! All crosswords have words...but some are sorely lacking in wordplay. Luckily, this collection has plenty: every theme and many of the clues are bursting with homophones, sneaky double-meanings, and other linguistic tricks. The crosswords have no obscure vocabulary, just clever and inventive themes that will keep readers guessing until they’ve filled in the very last square. Here’s just a sampling of what Silvestri has in store for solvers: What 12 letters mean "Turn down trash?” Why, REFUSE REFUSE, of course! There’s a ton of verbal calisthenics to keep every brain sharp.

All these puzzles are based on wordplay - puns, anagrams and linguistic trickery; Written by a former editor of America's Crossword Magazine; An official MENSA puzzle book A former editor of Crossword magazine who has constructed more than 500 published puzzles takes crosswords to a new, extra-entertaining, and more challenging level. Richard Silvestri, a self-confessed wordplay addict, adds a little spice to the solving by inserting puns, anagrams, and other linguistic trickery into the clues and their answers. Some of the crosswords feature homophones, others include heteronyms, and still more have letter-shifts and transposals. For example, a puzzle called Give It a Wrest features lots of silent-W puns: Extremely good craftsman? - DIVINE WRIGHT; Chief towel-twister? - LORD OF THE WRINGS; and Gun moll's shawl? - GANGSTER WRAP. Puzzlemeisters will have lots of fun with these.

Puns can make you laugh or groan, but when they're clues to these challenging and fun crossword puzzles, they'll make you smile with satisfaction. Can you find the five-letter word for "a race that's always a tie"? (Answer: ASCOT.) How about the three-letter word for "performing a scull operation"? (Answer: ROW.) If you can get those in short order, how about moving on to a 10-letter word for "small fries." (That answer is MICROCHIP.) Most of the puzzles are built around themes with several related words such as vegetables, insects, or Dr. Seuss books. But watch out--the vegetables may be spelled backwards; the insects are puns; and some of the Dr. Seuss puzzle answers include FIGURE OF SNEETCH, GRINCH MEAN TIME, and LAUNCHED A WOCKET. You can find the answers in back, but they're scattered around to make it harder to cheat.
