Mensa Word Puzzles

This book is poorly titled, Mensa is an organization for people with a high IQ and the puzzles in this book are openly designed for children. It is even hard to argue that the target audience is children with high intelligence, for the problems are generally within the range of the average child. For example, the first section consists of standard word search puzzles containing no additional feature that will make them harder than normal. The second section is called "Funny Animal Puzzles" and these are also generally easy to solve although there is the occasional twist that requires some thought. The last section is called "Mind-Boggling Word Puzzles" and while there is a bit of boggling, it is a rare event. While this is not a book for the young genius, it is a good book for the average child that enjoys stretching their mind via puzzles. However, for most of them, the stretch will not become a strain.
