Editorial Reviews

Every crossword fan should keep this reference within reach. The softcover edition is billed as the most comprehensive pocket crossword dictionary on market. And this hybrid dictionary, thesaurus and almanac lives up to the promise. Probable answers to clue words are listed alphabetically and by number of letters. Literary, dramatic, historical and other references are usefully arranged. "Elephant Man" listings, for example, include the film's director and cast members. "Festival" includes the festival names of the Greek and Roman deities. Look under "Language" for the mother tongues of nearly three pages of countries. A very handy book!

Random House Crossword Puzle Dictionary
This is the best crossword puzzle I've looked at. It's vastly superior to the N.Y. Time offering. I pretty exclusively work on their puzzles but from my point of view, their dictionary is almost unusable. I've also found this to be an incredibly handy basic thesaurus...
Good Choice
I bought this and the MILLION WORD DICTIONARY for my Mom. She liked them both but found this one slightly less useful than the other. Still a good dictionary though.
Random House Webster's Crossword Puzzle Dictionary
Very helpful and much better organized than other crossword dictionaries I've tried. It's a bit out of date and often things you'd expect to find aren't there, but it is very useful, especially for movie, sports, geography, place names, etc.
