I bought this for my evening routine and I like that it mixes things up. One night I do a crossword, the next a sudoku or a cryptogram. The cryptograms were new to me and ended up being my favorite. Difficulty ramps up gradually, so I never felt stuck on page one. Answer key in the back is easy to find.

I’m 68 and a lot of puzzle books have tiny print. This one doesn’t. The grids are a good size and the paper is thick enough that my pen doesn’t bleed through. The binding lets it lie fairly flat on the table, which helps a lot with word searches.

Got this for my dad after he retired because he wanted something to keep his mind sharp. He’s been doing a few puzzles every morning with his coffee for about three weeks now and says it’s become part of his routine. Good gift for anyone who likes a mix of word and number puzzles.

Really enjoyed the crosswords and word searches, and there’s plenty in here for the price. Only thing I will say s the sudokus felt easy for someone who does them daily. If you’re a beginner or casual solver, though, they’re perfect.
TRUSTPILOT REVIEWS
Update after two months
Wanted to come back and say I’m still using this daily. I finished the word searches first and now I’m working through the sudokus. It’s become a habit I actually look forward to. Already thinking about buying the next one.
Lots of puzzles for the price
I’ve been working through this for over a month and I’m still not halfway done. For what I paid, that’s a great deal. Each puzzle type gets a good number of pages instead of just a few.
Starts easy, gets challenging
I like that the puzzles get harder as you go. The first few crosswords were a quick warm-up, but by the back half I was spending 30+ minutes on some of them. Would love a few more expert-level ones, but overall very satisfied.
My wife and I do these together
We keep this on the kitchen table and work on the crosswords together after dinner. She’s better at the trivia clues, I’m better at the wordplay ones, so it works out. A nice way to unplug from our phones in the evening.
Perfect for flights
Took this on a 6-hour flight and the time flew by. It’s a good size to fit in a carry-on and doesn’t need any screen or battery. Just bring a pencil.
The cryptograms are the hidden gem
I bought it for the crosswords but the cryptograms hooked me. Cracking the code and finally reading the quote is so satisfying. There are hints for the tougher ones, which kept me from giving up.
Better mix than the ones at the grocery store
I’ve bought a lot of cheap puzzle books and most are 100 pages of the same word search. This one actually has variety: crosswords, sudoku, cryptograms, logic puzzles. It feels like five books in one.
Good puzzles, wish the answer key was organized better
The puzzles themselves are fun and well made. My only complaint is the answers in the back are small and a bit hard to match up with the puzzle numbers. Not a dealbreaker, but it slowed me down when checking my work.
