Puzzles are a nice way of entertainment, they broaden your vocabulary, sharpen your mind and are a preventive means for some diseases. It is good that so many of them are collected in one book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Thank you for your great review on "The Grids of the Word Crosser - Complete Edition" by Daniel Fonkem. Crossword puzzles are more difficult for me than word search because the puzzle can be in any genre or year. I am hoping that by reading this book along with the puzzle it might be easier to solve with the hints given. I decided to put this book on my shelf to give the puzzles a go just for the fun of it. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

Even though I really struggled to figure out how solve the first puzzle and I am not a huge fan of crosswords, this review made me want to keep trying.

I have never been a crossword person. But this book sounds like it took a while to construct. With a 5-star review, it must be a good book.

I enjoy completing a crossword puzzle from time to time, but I'm not so sure of the manner in which this book is structured as it doesn't conform to the types of puzzles I come across in newspapers. I may have to check it out further, but I don't think this book is for me. Nevertheless, congrats to the author on BOTD.

Crosswords of any type are so not my thing, because I always lacked perseverance to sit and essentially do nothing for such prolonged time periods. I prefer more active and productive pastimes, and therefore I will have to pass this book, but still thanks for gifting it and congrats on BOTD!

The Grids of the Word Crosser by Daniel Fonkem is a book of crossword puzzles. I used to enjoy solving these but don't find the time anymore. This book might help rekindle that interest, although the few that I sampled were probably a bit difficult for me to solve. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I appreciate your honest critique about the font and aesthetic choices. While it’s not a deal-breaker, a more visually appealing design could enhance the overall experience for readers who, like you, value aesthetics. It’s a small change that could make a big difference!
