(same as above, but with this from the author) So, you're "crossword curious." You've wanted to know more about crossword puzzles but were afraid to ask. Maybe you've tried one or two, then threw them across the room in disgust when you were stumped. Or maybe you've come close but never actually finished one. Well, fear no more. This little booklet is just for you. With this guide, you will learn the basics of crossword puzzling. The first part of the booklet is a collection of tips on how to decipher the clues. They can be quite confusing. It's all in the way the clues are worded. The second part contains a glossary of those three and four letter words that are always found in crossword puzzles. Many of these words are obscure and seldom used, except in typical crossword puzzles. (Honey, pass the "etui.") So, enjoy this booklet. Read it, and you will be on our way to becoming a brilliant cruciverbalist. (Look it up)
