Book Synopsis
I have always been fascinated and amused by the way words sound and came to realise that puzzles could be created using pairs of words to make another word or phrase. For example “Goat” and “Appeases” is like “Go to pieces”; “Hissed” and “Oracle” is like “Historical”; “Totally” and “Clips” is like “Total eclipse” Each puzzle in this book has twenty clues. To answer them you have to pair up words from the 41 given words marked “All the answers”. One of these words is a rogue word and doesn’t figure in any of the answers to the clues. Each puzzle also has an example at the start whose “answer” words are from the word list but are not used together in answering the clues below it. As you will discover some of the answers are diabolical pairings and may well cause you to groan on realising the pun. That is all part of the enjoyment which I hope you will experience from solving the clues. Tick or cross off the words in the list as you use them but remember you might have used them incorrectly. Each word is only used once. Answer lists are given as a last resort and the rogue word in each puzzle is identified. These are on the reverse of each quiz. Have fun!
