Puzzle Compendium

The Puzzle Compendium is a magazine that is designed to be shared by all members of a family, with puzzles for all abilities.

There are over 170 puzzles in each issue, too many to detail, but expect various types of crossword, arrowords, codewords, skeleton crosswords, plus wordsearch and kriss kross that usually have a seasonal theme.

Other puzzles worthy of note include logic problems and the very popular double acrostic. The Pick & Mix selection features a variety of smaller puzzles. Observational puzzles such as spot the difference and mazes are included. Three levels of sudoku appear, and the charmingly named Killer Sudoku.

Puzzles for youngsters include simple versions of codewords, crosswords, wordsearches and kriss krosses – and a variety of smaller puzzles.

A small selection of tricky tough puzzles, including Alphacipher and Numbercrostic, will challenge the most dedicated of puzzlers.
