Despite not being particularly taken by this book, I think that is down to my own inaccurate assumptions going into it more than the quality of the book itself. Somehow I thought there would be a range of anagram activities to complete, when in reality it is essentially - as others have said - a compilation of 'Wordscape' style puzzles which are all of the same format. If that is a game you enjoy, then this is a great book for you. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This is a really nice word game book! I used to play the phone game version of this and got bored because it was too easy/repetitive, but I could play this version without feeling that way. I like the added challenge of finding words that fit within their clues.

The font choice andvoshe setup are really nice and I like that an answer key is provided in the back of the book.

I felt that the progression of easy to medium to expert was appropriate, although I did find the expert level easier at times because the clues were gone and I could just fill in whatever words I could find!

This would be a fun gift for a wordy friend or family member or a good travel activity book.

This is a throwback to when these games dominated the 2012-2016 era. This game is really fun and the further you get, the more difficult it becomes. It's so fun!

I've played a similar type of game on my handphone and like it. Would be nice to get a paper copy to write on, though I did wonder how I could swap the letters around! Ha! It's nice to get away from the electronic devices for at least a while. Also, great game to get the brain cracking instead of stagnating.

I like that there are 3 levels of difficulty and that some of the clue letters are not positioned at the beginning.

Nice for a word game lover.

5 stars.

For lovers of wordscapes and wordle.
This is one of the best word puzzle books I’ve read. Great puzzles with just the right amount of toughness

Super fun & engaging. Nothing groundbreaking which is fine for puzzle lovers. Super simple to understand as soon as you open the first page. Anyone who loves word puzzles would love to add this to their nightstand.

Pros: I love puzzles, especially word puzzles, so I was excited to work through the puzzles in this book. I have an app on my phone that is a digital version of this book, but I know there are people who prefer a written/book version to an app, so this is perfect for them.

Cons: None that I can think of!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press for the opportunity to read this book.

I love this! Definitely going to spend some more time going through all of these in my spare time and completing them! Such an easy setup and love how the answers are provided at the back!

Overall, I enjoyed the puzzles in this book, but I did think that the most difficult puzzles were not very difficult. Those that are looking for very difficult puzzles might be disappointed with the selection.

I am having fun with this one and love good word puzzles to keep the brain active. This is just the type of book I like when it comes to puzzles.

This is fun and makes you think and I love finding new words as there are so many out there I don't know about.

Great fun for everyone.

Those who enjoy word puzzles may well want to add this book to their library. The way the anagram puzzle works is clearly explained and then the fun begins. Puzzles range from the easy to the very difficult. Progress or start at the level that seems right. This is a brain teasing, fun collection and one that would be easy to carry around. I enjoyed it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

A great book of anagram puzzles, accessible for all levels as it’s divided into various levels from easy to expert. Easy puzzles have some letters provided already to give a helping hand, whereas expert puzzles leave all of the answers for the reader to figure out. Space is provided for your answers so they really can be done anywhere, a great selection of puzzles for all levels.

Great little book of anagram puzzles. Lots of puzzles ranging from easy to difficult. A good way to keep my brain ticking over

A great book of anagrams in the style puzzle you might have seen in newspapers - there is one central letter you have to use and then around it in a geometric shape are other letters you can use. At first, it starts out easier, giving you the first letter of the words it's looking for. However, by the end, there are no free letters! A great puzzle book.
