The Everything Large-Print Crossword Dictionary: Finding a solution has never been easier!

THE

EVERYTHING®

LARGE-PRINT CROSSWORD

DICTIONARY

Dear Reader,

I was inspired to create this book when I noticed something curious about crossword puzzles: many of the same words and clues are used over and over again in different puzzles. This dictionary is filled with this core crossword lexicon. There’s no fluff to wade through here; all the entries are based on actual puzzles. I’ve included a huge number of entries, so I think it is likely that you will find answers for many of the clues that stump you.

And might I humbly suggest that this is one dictionary that is fun to read, especially if you’re into trivia. And unlike some dictionaries, no magnifying glass is necessary since these pages are printed with large type.

I hope this dictionary makes your crossword puzzle solving even more enjoyable.

Welcome to the EVERYTHING® Series!

These handy, accessible books give you all you need to tackle a difficult project, gain a new hobby, comprehend a fascinating topic, prepare for an exam, or even brush up on something you learned back in school but have since forgotten.

You can choose to read an Everything® book from cover to cover or just pick out the information you want from our four useful boxes: e-questions, e-facts, e-alerts, and e-ssentials. We give you everything you need to know on the subject, but throw in a lot of fun stuff along the way, too.

We now have more than 400 Everything® books in print, spanning such wide-ranging categories as weddings, pregnancy, cooking, music instruction, foreign language, crafts, pets, New Age, and so much more. When you’re done reading them all, you can finally say you know Everything®!

Introduction

THIS BOOK IS DESIGNED to be as easy to use as possible. To find the answer to a clue, simply look it up in the dictionary beginning with the first word. For example, you can find the clue Have a hunch in the entries that start with Have. (The answers are FEEL, SENSE, or INTUIT.) If this does not work, then try looking up keywords in the clue. For example, the answer to Alternative to Windows can be found by looking under Windows. (The answer is UNIX and it is listed under Windows alternative.)

This dictionary begins with entries that start with numbers and then proceeds in alphabetical order. Only letters and numbers are used to determine the sort order, any other initial characters are ignored. For example, the clue ___ & the Blowfish can be found by looking under the Blowfish. (The answer is HOOTIE.)

Here is an example entry:

Zip 3 nil, pep, vim 4 dart, elan, nada, none, tang, tear, zero, zest 5 oomph, spice 6 energy 7 notaone 8 gooseegg

Note that the answer words are ordered first by number of letters, then alphabetically. This makes it easy to find answers that have the right number of letters to fit your puzzle. Answer words are listed without any spaces or punctuation added, just as they appear in a crossword puzzle.

The crossword puzzle was born in 1913 when Arthur Wynne published the first one in the New York World newspaper. Although the basic concept is the same, crossword puzzles have changed over the years. Today, crossword clues are smarter and trickier than ever before. This book is your secret weapon to help tackle the most fiendish clues. Good luck!
