Book Reviews of Will Shortz's Favorite Crossword Puzzles from the Pages of The New York Times
Book Review: Diabolical, But Fair
Summary: 5 Stars
Six months ago I would have called every one of these puzzles unfair. The gimmicks and tricks are too hard! But that was before I became a crossword puzzle fan.These are mostly challenging crosswords, all from the New York Times. There are a few Monday and Tuesday puzzles, but most are from Thursday-Saturday, the tough part of the week. And they are clever. It really makes you wonder (and admire) the kind of minds that can come up with such diabolical puzzles.
And now with almost half a year of New York Times crossword experience under my belt, I can say that all these puzzles are scrupulously fair. Will Shortz wouldn't have it any other way.
