He has devised 72 crosswords that will test solvers' knowledge of a range of topics, covering a variety of tricky and entertaining themes. For one puzzle, you'll have to know how much every letter of the alphabet scores in Scrabble. In another, words "jump" across black squares, while a third uses the same clues for multiple entries. And, of course, there are plenty of less experimental but equally fun crosswords, with anagrams, puns, hidden words in the grids, and other wordplay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puzzle fans will welcome this second collection of crossword fun from Richard Silvestri! All crosswords have words...but some are sorely lacking in wordplay. Luckily, this collection has plenty: every theme and many of the clues are bursting with homophones, sneaky double-meanings, and other linguistic tricks. The crosswords have no obscure vocabulary, just clever and inventive themes that will keep readers guessing until they’ve filled in the very last square. Here’s just a sampling of what Silvestri has in store for solvers: What 12 letters mean "Turn down trash?” Why, REFUSE REFUSE, of course! There’s a ton of verbal calisthenics to keep every brain sharp.
