Review of
Pencil
Games and Puzzles
Five out of five stars
This short
booklet contains puzzles in very familiar genres, but still are challenging. For
example, there are word ladders, where one three-letter word is transformed
into another by performing three one-letter replacements where each
intermediate stage is also a word. There are checker puzzles where the reader
is to find a quick victory, riddles, a secret message in a matrix of letters
and a cryptogram.
There are also
several missing letter problems, where the name of an animal is to be entered
to make a series of valid words, a few math puzzles and some partial limericks
where the reader is to fill in the last line.
If you are a
fan of simple, yet difficult puzzles and challenges, this short pamphlet will force
you to expend significant mental effort if you are to solve them. Solutions to
all are included.
