Cryptogram-A-Day Book

I wanted a Cryptogram book because sometimes the puzzle in the daily paper isn't enough! This book fits the bill. There is plenty of room above the letters for writing in your guesses. The quotes are long enough that you can find clues within the letter patterns. I love the way the answers are given in the back, spread out in such a way that you can't accidentally see the next day's puzzle. I highly recommend this one.

The cryptic quotes in this book are interesting and challenging enough to make them fun. I did one a day throughout the year and was sorry when the last one was finished. But I'm not tossing the book. I am keeping it as a reference, and, via the comprehensive index, I can look up a quote from a favorite author or find a profound statement on a certain subject. I especially appreciated that the answers to the quotes were not in sequential order so that when checking my solutions, I did not see the answer for the next day. Moll doesn't supply hints, but I would not look at them if she did. Hints weaken the challenge. I really dislike cryptograms that furnish the hint right below the puzzle. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys cryptograms.

I have been doing cryptoquotes for awhile now and this book was great! I am someone who does not like any hints. I keep going until I get it! I recommend this book to anyone who is an avid "cryptoquoter"

I've been a fan of cryptograms since I stumbled across them in my local newspaper - this book is a great collection and a good way to occupy your time and mind whenever you're bored or just feel the need to solve something! I really liked it because the cryptograms are for the most part lovely quotes by many famous people - you'll be treasuring the quotes long after you've solved the puzzle. The only thing about this book is that - the title isn't true - once you buy it you won't be able to limit yourself to just one cryptogram a day, that's for sure! Definitely a great catch and one to look into.

If you like puzzles but you can't stand those complicated New York Times crossword puzzles that only my dad can descipher, then pick up this book and treat yourself to something different. Use your intuition and the math-oriented parts of your brain (which are closely related) to figure out the sayings and who said them. Have fun. If you don't like them, just go back to the New York Times and send me the answers. :)
