Go beyond the ordinary crossword. These puzzles provide extra satisfaction, because while you"re solving them, you"re also unraveling a riddle. There are four types to try, of varying levels of difficulty. In the simple Starter puzzles, the answers appear spelled out in the correct order in shaded areas of the grid. If that sounds easy, go for the Anagram puzzles; they also have shaded squares, but you have to rearrange the letters, too. Double Entendre crosswords work differently: the solution to the riddle, minus one word, is the answer to a clue. The remaining term can be either of two (or sometimes more) sound-alike words hidden elsewhere in the grid. And finally, there are Word Rebuses, a variation on the old pictorial favorite.
