Uncover the secrets to solving these tricky puzzles and then test out your newfound skills on some of the toughest examples you've ever seen! For the first part of the book, in-depth, step-by-step notes and annotations explain how to solve each type of clue. Learn how to recognize "flags" signaling hidden words, anagrams, charades, homophones, reversals, containers, deletions, and double definitions. Practice on the samples where the clues may appear to make sense on the surface, but dig deeper and you'll see that each one has at least two meanings. Once you've grasped cryptic logic, try the real thing with 19 increasingly difficult, bigger puzzles.
