  • I am an advanced longtime crossword addict. I usually have to buy books that consist mostly of easy to medium puzzles with just a few tough

    ones. This one fills the bill. Best puzzle book I have ever had.

  • The title is Tough, this is true

    Pro: There are a lot of puzzles Con: There are misspelled answers to clues, ie, clue-fairy answer-pixy #2 clue-surprise attacker answer-amclintoner. I have looked that answer up in the dictionary and the word does not exist. These are just two examples of what the entire book has been like thus far. I know they are supposed to be difficult, but if it weren't for the answer key, there would be no way to solve the puzzles from start to finish.
