“The New York Sun crossword is my first stop of the day. Not just a greatpuzzle, but amazingly often one that contains a brand-new, ‘I wish I’dthought of that’ gimmick. And the occasional themeless puzzles are as sat-isfyingly hard as any to be found.”

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED

Vowelless Crosswordsby Frank Longo

Wht’s bttr thn crsswrds? Tht’s rght: crsswrds wth n vwls! At first,these challenging, but fiendishly fun, puzzles look like the usualcrossword. But there’s a devilish twist: you write only the conso-nants in the boxes, not the vowels. So when you look at the grid,there’s no quick way to know exactly how many letters make up theright solution. Plus, because you don’t need as many spaces foreach word, the phrases can be longer than usual—and that makesthe grids wide open and ratchets up the difficulty level.

For those who need a little extra help, there’s a hints section to tearout and refer to when needed, as well as grids with wordlistsexplaining (with vowels) what the answers are.

“Every one of these puzzles, though fair and impressively constructed, is an absolute beast. This book will provide a stiffchallenge no matter how good at crosswords you are. I struggledintensely and enjoyed it all the while.”

—Tyler Hinman, 2005-08 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament champion
