Because these purchases were gifts for children, their use and enjoyment will be the judge of item. In my opinion this was a good choice for a curious and clever seven year old and a very competent reader.

I bought this as a gift for a fan of NPRs Sunday Puzzle. He started working on a puzzle right away and found it quite challenging. There are a wide variety of types to keep the puzzles engaging.

Having crossed the 5000th crossword puzzle, I needed a new brain stimulus during COVID. This gave it to me. I do many brain books *besides crosswords) and this was a good one.

Well, since it was purchased as a Christmas gift for someone else, I can't really comment as much as if it was for me. It looks just fine as far as I can tell.
