This one stays close to the amenities of English. There are few words you don’t use, if your vocabulary is as ample as a cross word puzzler’s should be. By the way, has your vocabulary expanded since you’ve started puzzling?

Plenty of trouble ahead here for the unwary solver. The four-letter word border is a tricky thing to monkey with, for often the wrong word contains the same number of letters and answers the definition perfectly. A good many unkeyed letters, but none in critical places.

A STAID FORM

By Charles Erlenkotter

This plot of crosses and dots looks safe and conservative. There are, however, several perfectly good English words that will give you a thrill. By strange coincidence, this odd pattern was used by another contributor and will be found elsewhere in the book. A comparison of the two puzzles will be interesting.
