Wacky-Shaped Word Search Puzzles to Keep You Sharp

Book Description
Word search puzzles don't get much better than this." —Will Shortz, Puzzlemaster for National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition"

Add a touch of wackiness to ordinary word search fun for a little extra challenge. Instead of ordinary squares and rectangles, these puzzles come in really wild shapes or have an entertaining twist. Each word search has a theme to go along with the distinctive picture; for example, a grid in the shape of a smiley face has clues that deal with being happy. A tulip puzzle features flowers as its subject. In addition, 10 puzzles have special gimmicks: in three rebuses, little symbols replace certain letter combinations (such as a picture of a teacup in place of T-E-A). “Movie Editing” plays a little game with Hollywood films, by giving them a one-word title change to create a very different plot.

What makes this collection of mind-boggling word search puzzles unlike any other? The shapes of each and every puzzle can be downright wacky at times. Instead of looking for hidden words in a jumble of letters that usually comes in a ho-hum square or rectangle, the words in these grids form distinctive picture outlines that are directly related to the puzzles' themes. You get a grid in the shape of a charging bull, for example, in a puzzle about the stock market. There are 58 word searches in all and each one is fun and challenging as well as a little different.
