USA TODAY Crossword 3: 200 Puzzles from The Nation's No. 1 Newspaper (USA Today Puzzles) by USA TODAY

USA TODAY Crossword 3: 200 Puzzles from The Nation's No. 1 Newspaper (USA Today Puzzles) by USA TODAY is Not too easy, not too impossible. I can struggle through most of these without checking the back. These puzzles do not assume that I live in New York, or that I watch TV constantly, so that a good vocabulary and a fair grasp of "general knowledge" gets me through in about 20 minutes. A very comfortable set of puzzles.I swore off the ones edited by Will Shortz and John Samson because they will frequently cross some celebrity I never heard of with another of the same, and there is no way of guessing your way through them. Insider games! Did not like them!

USA TODAY Crossword 3: 200 Puzzles from The Nation's No. 1 Newspaper (USA Today Puzzles) by USA TODAY is These are truly some of the best cross word puzzles around. They are challenging without being frustrating yet don't make things easy by any means. If you have done a USA Today Crossword puzzle before you know what you are getting, so you can buy this knowing they the same ones. The paper quality is decent but you do have to press pretty hard if using a pencil as it is the coarse recycled paper, be brave and go with a pen.My only issue with this is the layout. The questions are on one side and the puzzle on the other. Anyone that has held a book knows that it can be a challenge to keep it open and in the case of a crossword puzzle it is a real challenge to look back and forth and try to write down your answer. I would love this book if it was printed on larger pages and everything was on one page. This is a challenge to do in bed.Overall, great puzzles and a good buy for the price.

USA TODAY Crossword 3: 200 Puzzles from The Nation's No. 1 Newspaper (USA Today Puzzles) by USA TODAY is Maddening!!! I subscribe to USA Today so I have probably done all these crosswords in the past. I usually can finish them in 15 or 20 minutes each day. Just enough difficulty to get the brain working. HOWEVER, I do not understand why someone thought it was necessary to make theseinto 2- page puzzles. It is hard to hang onto the book and keep both pages available - - and write the answers. Even if it had to be a little larger, it is MUCH easier to just have a single page. Sometimes I just like to tear out the single page and put it on a clipboard.

USA TODAY Crossword 3: 200 Puzzles from The Nation's No. 1 Newspaper (USA Today Puzzles) by USA TODAY is I'm a bit of a crossword newbie. I'd finished a slim book of easy puzzles and, because of this; I felt emboldened to get another book of Crossword puzzles. Within a few puzzles, I realized that i might have bit off more than I could chew. Puzzles are boring if they're too easy, but these are a bit much for me. I'm not giving up, and I'm sure they're fine crossword puzzles, but i would love to do one of this books puzzles without having to look up an answer on my phone (because a certain person, place or thing I've never heard of is part of a clue) or in the back of this book. I'm not slogging this book, I just should have done a little more research and looked more specifically for a book of slightly easier crossword puzzles. Though,on a positive note, the challenge level of this books puzzles has improved my crossword skills; just not at the rate I didn't realize I'd hoped.
