One of the most popular features of National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Sunday broadcasts have been the seven minutes of puzzling with puzzlemaster Will Shortz. Shortz, former editor of Games magazine and now crossword editor for the New York Times, has compiled 200 of the show's best word games into this collection. About half are short puzzles that may take a bit of thinking to solve. The other half are word games with 10 to 20 parts to work through. Can you find a common, unhyphenated English word that contains all but one of the letters L through V? Can you tell what barbers, roosters, and beehives have in common? How many boys' names can you find concealed in a dime? Will Shortz has scores of such challenges; even faithful listeners of Weekend Edition Sunday may find many of them worth resolving. Those who haven't heard these on-air presentations will find them a welcome source of puzzling entertainment. Shortz is highly skilled at finding and concocting puzzles that are fun, challenging, and amusing.
