User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars My daughter loves it!
After helping me with my puzzles on simple clues such as, City in Iowa, my daughter wanted to be able to do her own crossword puzzles. This book is the answer. She says, “They are fun, and they educate you.” I would highly recommend this for anyone with a budding crossworder.
5 Stars Fun Challenge for Kids — No Electricity Required!
Trip Payne’s “Crosswords for Kids” kept my fourth-grader engrossed for days. The difficulty level was perfect for him — the puzzles were challenging and interesting, but he could do them mostly by himself. He specifically wanted to do crosswords, like his parents, and not word searches or mazes. This book has only crosswords — 40 puzzles, each averaging around 90 clues. I’ve only found one or two other books that rivaled it, and I hope Mr. Payne continues to fill the need for this kind of book.
