Anagram crosswords are a crossword variant in which you are given the answers to every word to be placed in the grid in advance!
Does that sound too easy? Then wait for the kicker - those clues are all anagrams of the answer words! So you'll need to solve the anagrams to work out what the word is, and sometimes there will be multiple possible anagrams so you'll need to cross-reference with other answers in the grid to work out which is the correct word to go in each place in the grid.
These are great fun for people who enjoy anagrams and crosswords... if that's you, then buy this book!

This book contains two arrow-based puzzles: arrow words, and arrow Sudoku!
If you've not come across arrowwords, they are a crossword variant where the clues appear in the grid with arrows telling you in which direction you should write each answer.
Arrow Sudoku, however, are a variant of the standard Sudoku puzzle and add... you've guessed it... arrows in to the solving mix! These add some lovely mathematical logic to the solving experience to create a subtle puzzle that is generally harder than a standard Sudoku. The cells along the body of an arrow must sum to the circled cell at its head. This introduces some really nice logic to the Sudoku-solving mix!
Tatami is a lesser-known logic puzzle, but still great fun.
The aim of the puzzle is to place the numbers from 1-5 twice in each row and column of the grid, and once in each of the bold-lined regions in the grid. A number cannot touch itself either horizontally or vertically in the grid.
Each puzzle can be solved logically, but they involve some really nice logic that is required to solve them. Can you tackle them all successfully?
Fan of crosswords? Fan of Sudoku? If you answered YES to those two questions, then this is the ideal book for you!

Will you solve all 100 puzzles? Solutions are included at the back of the book. We hope you'll enjoy solving the puzzles in this collection!
This book combines a mixture of crossword puzzles and wordsearches into one book.
So if you are a fan of these puzzles - and they are two of the most popular word puzzles out there - then why not buy a book containing a selection of both of them? That's what this book is there for!
This puzzle combines a codeword puzzle and a skeleton crossword. Each letter
from A-Z is represented by a different number from 1-32. The remaining six
numbers represent the black squares that create the symmetrical grid pattern.
You must work out which of the numbers represent each letter and black
square to solve both elements of the puzzle successfully. Four hint letters
are given to get you started on each puzzle. Good luck!
Maths pyramids, number towers, number pyramids, maths towers, addition stacks: whatever you know them as, this puzzle is a great way for children to practice their arithmetic in a fun and interactive way.
The premise is simple: you are presented with a pyramid of numbers, and each brick on the pyramid must contain a number, which is the sum of the two numbers below it. Can you fill the whole tower by practising your maths and working out the numbers that must go in each brick?
The book is a great way of practising your addition and subtraction skills as necessary to help you complete each pyramid. Full solutions at the back of the book.
Oh dear, those pesky aliens are imminent and may be about to make contact with earth. Do you fancy being part of the team that prepares for possible first contact?
That's the theme of this book! It contains a large range of different puzzles, based around code cracking, code breaking and lateral thinking. With some puzzles the task is as much to work out what you need to do as actually do it - there are a huge range of different presentations of puzzles here encompassing word, number, logic and maths. You'll need to keep your wits about you. If you get stuck, then there are fully worked solutions at the back of the book that explain how each puzzle works.
Or you could get a friend to take a look at the solution and give you pointers to nudge you to a solution. You can work on this book alone but it is also an ideal one to solve along with someone else, or indeed a team, as the more different viewpoints and ideas then the easier it will be to solve some of the trickier puzzles in this book.
The book also contains some fun hidden puzzles to accompany the storyline and puzzle challenge that runs through the book - there's a link to our webpage at the end of the book that will tell you the answers to these. Can you spot all of the hidden challenges?
There are no fewer than 50 animal-themed dot to dot puzzles in this book, ideal for any fans of dot to dots and animals!
The puzzles are aimed at adults looking for a dot to dot challenge or for children who are happy with puzzles with around 250-400 dots per puzzle. The puzzles solve as standard dot to dots except that they contains various places where you need to take your pencil off the page and start again from the next dot - this happens when you encounter a white (hollow) dot.
We hope you'll love this collection and enjoy the wonderful animal creations that you make by literally just joining the dots!
Do you like hanjie puzzles and mosaic puzzles? If you are not familiar with these puzzles, then they are both logic puzzles which reveal a black-and-white pixel art image once solved.
With hanjie puzzles, you are given a range of clues outside the grid that you must use to work out the pattern of filled squares in each row and column of the grid. With mosaic puzzles, you are given numbered clues inside the grid and must work out from these which of the neighbouring squares are filled, again to enable you to determine whether every square in the grid should be shaded or not.
The bonus with both puzzle types is that you build up a picture as you solve them! If you like intriguing Japanese logic puzzles then we hope you'll love this brand-new collection of puzzles.
