Brain Games - Large Print Crossword Puzzles (Purple) Spiral-bound – Large Print, October 1, 2018

Purchased these for a friend that has vision issues but she told me she had no problem seeing these and enjoyed them immensely.

We got this book as a gift for my mother in law. The large print and spiral bounding is great for her! I am going to look for over puzzle types in this series for her. Wonderful for people who need large print!

I have one complaint. I had ordered a new, not used, book but when I received my order, the first puzzle had been halfway completed. I guess a worker at the warehouse had gotten bored while on break. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I cannot say I am angry, just thankful this order was for me and not purchased as a gift to someone else. Other than that, the book is in excellent condition and I will buy from this company again. The binding is spiral which is nice. I do wish the puzzle and the clues were on the same page so you can work the puzzle without constantly flipping the book over or having it open so both pages show, it would make it easier when having it in your lap and when traveling.

Too hard for me but probably too easy for a hard core crossworder. Large print and boxes are great for those with poor vision

Perfect crossword book for my elderly mom, large font, not too easy, not too hard.

I've always done crossword puzzles from the newspapers and really enjoy learning new words and figuring out even the most difficult. I can't always complete the harder ones (Sunday NY/LA Times) and this Brain Games Crossword book is no different. Neither too difficult nor too easy - just right. I'm 63 yrs old and find I can complete most of the puzzles, although sometime I do have to ponder an answer for a day or two.This is the second Brain Games book I've purchased in the last couple months and I'll get another as soon as I'm done with this one. I do recommend!

These are not necessarily beginner crossword puzzles. I bought this for my boyfriend because he wanted to try crosswords. He IS enjoying it, though some of the puzzles are tough. (Even for me, and I've been doing crosswords since I was a kid.) The book is great because it opens flat, and it is nice to have the larger print.EDIT: my boyfriend actually sort of LIKES that they are somewhat difficult for him. He is learning things (at 61!), and enjoys that aspect. Puzzles that are easy are not fun.

It's a sturdy book, large print for sure, but so far (6 puzzles in), they are rather challenging. I like crossword puzzles a lot, and my husband is fantastic at them. Even he was stumped and found some of the clues rather obscure. They have a theme written at the top of the clues, but on one for Jane Austen, there were clues about Dungeons and Dragons and nuclear war programs! We just laughed at the randomness, but he ended up walking away in defeat, which I have NEVER seen him do on crosswords. Between the two of us, we have gotten most of the clues solved. On the ones I've done on my own, I am missing a letter or two, because, as I said, the word is totally obscure or the clue isn't quite right for the word.Overall, it is decent, and we will keep working it, but I probably wouldn't pick it again, and I definitely wouldn't give it to someone who was so-so about crosswords.
