{"product_id":"cranium-cracking-cryptic-crosswords-tony-chesterley-9781481883412","title":"Cranium-Cracking Cryptic Crosswords","description":"Tony Chesterley returns with a new compendium of 40 mind-warping puzzles to further delight fans of the cryptic crossword. Unlike the conventional crossword clue, a cryptic clue offers two paths to its answer: a straight definition and a disguised wordplay description, which might involve a charade, anagram, word reversal, homophone or word within a word - or any combination thereof. For instance, the clue \"Clothing subsidiary owned by men (8)\" leads to the answer GARMENTS (\"clothing\"), which is ARM (\"subsidiary\") inside of (\"owned by\") GENTS (\"men\"). Sleuthing the puzzle writer's secret code provides mental amusement far beyond that of the regular crossword. So sharpen your pencils, tune in your brain and dive into this sumptuous stockpile of surreptitious surprises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Chesterley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481883410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481883412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Tony Chesterley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985770021119,"sku":"9781481883412","price":10.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e7a8aa8-da02-477c-9d13-ef3d4227b7de.jpg?v=1683279454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cranium-cracking-cryptic-crosswords-tony-chesterley-9781481883412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
