Product Review

It’s puzzle nirvana for crossword lovers who have just a few minutes to spare, but still crave a challenge. Adapted from the popular Mensa 10-Minute Crossword Puzzles Page-A-Day Calendar, Mensa 10-Minute Crossword Puzzles strikes a perfect balance: The puzzles are tough enough to be sanctioned by Mensa, the internationally famous high-IQ society, but are designed to be solvable in ten minutes or less.

Expertly written by puzzle master Fred Piscop, Mensa member, author of the Mensa calendar, and frequent crossword contributor to both The New York Times and The Washington Post, these cleverly themed crossword puzzles will appeal to both seasoned solvers and novices looking to hone their skills. They are an addictive addition to your morning routine (just add coffee); perfect for evening downtime; just right for your commute on the subway, or while waiting at the doctor’s office or sitting in a restaurant—anytime you need a mental pick-me-up. The book’s chunky format, which works so well for puzzle books like The Original Sudoku series, fits easily into a purse or bag. An answer key is included at the back of the book.

The daily crosswords, Mon. through Fri., are no challenge at all. It is simply a matter of filling in the blanks with the correct words. The Sat.-Sun. puzzle is the only one that takes some time, and even then it isn't because it takes time to figure out the clever clues, it's because the answers are for very detailed, specific information - names of rivers, mountains, dramatic characters, that sort of thing.

I bought this calendar because a co-worker and I LOVE the crosswords on the Mensa Deskpad Calendar. We are in no way calendar enthusiasts or Mensa members, but enjoy a bit of a challenge. Some of these are great, but others are difficult to get into. I'm going to stick with the pad ones for next year.
