    Ughhhhh I love puzzles so much. This is great, but what I really want is practice weekday puzzles i.e. the puzzle he introduces on Sunday that you have to solve for the following Thursday. There are some of those in here, but it's mostly the easier on-air puzzles.

    Lately I am finding myself more drawn to rule finding puzzles vs. rule following puzzles.
    This video explains the concept and has a lot of examples, but think
    Kennections,
    the daily Mystery League puzzles, or
    Only Connect.

    Fun! I loved this collection of word puzzles. Apparently most of these puzzles appeared first on National Public Radio on Sundays from 1987 through 1996. I hope there are more word game books just like this one.

    Have used this since my first year teaching high school as a way to stimulate creativity in my creative writing students.
