Curiously Quirky Word Searches - by Trip Payne (Paperback)

About the Book

This new collection of word searches offers a wide variety of twists on standard word searches. Some puzzles might have symbols included in the grid (like stars that represent the letters S-T-A-R), some might feature entries that wind through the grid in zigzag lines, some might replace the word list with a set of clues to solve--anything goes! But at heart, the puzzles are still accessible, fun word searches.
