Puzzlemaster Presents Will Shortz's Best Puzzles from Npr

Will Shortz is on the air Every week, over 2.8 million people across the United States and more throughout the world tune to NPR's Weekend EditionR Sunday to hear Puzzlemaster Will Shortz present his on-air puzzles and weekly challenges. This second collection of ingenious word puzzles and games contains another 200 examples of what everyone's been listening to and why they keep coming back week after week. The 150 fill-in-the-blank puzzles are the ones Will challenges a listener to answer on the air each week. Often, though, there's not enough time for the puzzles to be presented on the radio in their entirety. The ones Will chose for this book are complete, and include all the never-before-heard material that didn't make it onto the air. In addition, each of them is accompanied by a Rating Guide, indicating Will's criteria for Good, Excellent and Ace. The 50 weekly challenges are more difficult and will provide you with the opportunity to really exercise those little gray cells. Members of the radio audience have only four days to solve each weekly challenge and submit the answer, but you can stick with each puzzle for as long as you want; the satisfaction you feel when you solve it will be just as sweet. Whether you have five minutes or 50, whether you tackle the puzzles alone, with a friend or in a group, working on these mind-benders will conjure up that wonderfully lazy Sunday feeling each time you open the book.Shortz, Will is the author of 'Puzzlemaster Presents Will Shortz's Best Puzzles from Npr' with ISBN 9780812935158 and ISBN 0812935152.
