Publisher's Synopsis
Crossword puzzles have been around for a little over one hundred years now, and they have been a source of great joy to those who have been solving them. Often as young children, we would have seen an elder in the family solving these puzzles and out of sheer curiosity tried to understand what it's all about.Once you enter this fascinating world of crosswords, there is no looking back. It leads you into a world of exotic words, their origins and their synonyms. Then you enter the world of cryptic crosswords with their charming word play, charades, anagrams and what not.I have been a keen solver and a compiler for the past forty years, and I hope these puzzles bring you the same feeling of joyous accomplishment as I got from them.This book - the seventh volume in its series - contains almost thirty cryptic crosswords to give you days of problem solving enjoyment. These puzzles had originally appeared in 'The Hindu'. The author wishes to express his gratitude to the Editor at 'The Hindu', India's national daily, for his permission to publish the puzzles in a book form.Happy solving!!Cover Design by Sujata Devanathan.
