399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young

I buy a lot of books on Amazon, and 50% of them arrive damaged. Maybe I should learn my lessons and go to an actual bookstore. It looks like a reasonable book, but I will sadly be returning it!

This is the first of 3 books by Nancy Linde, and they are my absolute favorites of this genre (brain, mind activities). The book has many types of puzzles: ALMA'S SHOPPING LIST - anagrams ANAGRAMS CLASSIC RIDDLES COMPOUND WORD SEARCH - Put two pictures together to make a compound word. (Ex. picture of a crab + picture of grass = crabgrass) DOUBLE TROUBLE - Compound Words ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS EPONYMS FAMOUS MOVIE LINES FIND THE WORDS - Find all words beginning with a certain letter in a picture FINISH THE JINGLE, FINISH THE SAYING FOLLOW THE RULES HOMONYMS MONTH IN HISTORY - Identify important dates ODD MAN OUT ONE MINUTE MADNESS - How many items you can list for a subject in one minute PALINDROMES PICTURE THEMES PUT THE LIST IN ORDER RHYME TIME - two definitions that must rhyme RUN THE ALPHABET - Different categories where you come up with a word for every letter of the alphabet. STINKY PINKY - Two clues, answers rhyme. (Ex. An introverted insect. Answer: SHY FLY) TRIMBLE WACKY WORDIES WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON? - Ex. Bowling alleys, seamstresses, and hand grenades. Answer: Pins WHATZIT - Guess the thing from clues WHOOZY - Guess the person from clues WORD PARTS - Ex. The opposite of out + verdict deciders. Answer: In + jury = injury. WORD SEARCH This is just a small fraction of the activities. There's a large variety of activities which are all fun, interesting, and challenging. NOTE: These are all word activities, no number puzzles such as Sudoko, etc.

This brain training book for adults is really useful and has a good variety of puzzles to solve to keep your brain active. I particularly like the fact that that it’s is very informative at the start of the book. Plenty to keep you going for a while. Very good value.

This is a large collection of puzzles with a great variety of puzzle types and varying skill levels. Most puzzles and answers seem fairly easy (which give you a sense of accomplishment), however there's always a few in each puzzle that are a little more difficult and make you think a little harder, which is the whole point. I would recommend this book.

Ich bin ein richtiger Fan von Logik und Matherätsel. Das Buch ist genau das richtige für mich und meiner Freundin. Wir haben richtige Rätselstunden mit dem Buch.

It is only for people very very femilier with Amiracan culture and its history.
