To Use or Not to Use a Crossword Puzzle Dictionary…

By admin · Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Crossword puzzlers have often said to me that using a crossword puzzle dictionary does not provide them with an adequate challenge.  They believe they should be able to have all the answers in their memory.  Some even go as far as saying it is ‘cheating’ to use one.    

Relying on your memory is fine, but there are certain things you just don’t know or can’t recall at that particular time.  Researching  words and facts will enable you to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you have  completed the puzzle, and  have extended your general knowledge on a particular topic..The advantage of this is that once you have learnt the information, you will be able to remember it again the next time it appears in a crossword or in another situation.

Here are some useful crossword puzzle dictionary titles, which are now available in the Crosswords for Fun Crossword Puzzles Online Bookshop, that will make solving a breeze.
