Mark Danna and Fraser Simpson are the new co-writers of the long-running Mensa/Workman page-a-day puzzle calendar: 365 Brain Puzzlers. The 2010 version features word, math, logic, visual and other kinds of puzzles from Danna (a former associate editor of Games Magazine) and Simpson (Saturday cryptic crossword constructor for The Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper). Amy Goldstein, who checked the puzzles for the publisher, said, "I wish there'd been a calendar like this when I was a kid." Danna's and Simpson's names do not appear on the packaging, but you'll find their entertaining puzzles for all ages inside. The calendar has national distribution in bookstores and can also be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders. |

Shameless Plug: There is a new crossword dictionary on the shelves. The 21st Century Crossword Dictionary by Mark Diehl and yours truly is finally available online or in your bookstore. The clues and answers in the book are based on data found in the cruciverb.com database. This dictionary has some new features: most common answers are highlighted in red ink, the most common 3-, 4-, 5- 6- and 7-letter words are listed, there are handy lists such as Popes, Academy Award winners, etc. And there is a section that describes the different types of themes found in American crossword puzzles. The aim in making this dictionary was not to make it thesaurus-like, with every synonym listed. Instead, we have focused on clues and answers that actually appear in puzzles. This is therefore not the biggest dictionary, but it could very well be the most useful. We hope you'll think so, too. |
