From Mensa[registered] comes a series of super-challenging puzzles that go way beyond the average crossword - and also offer an authentic treasure-trove of wordplay demanding some skilled solving. Each clue has two parts...one is the normal definition of an answer, while the other features a little linguistic playfulness - maybe an anagram, perhaps a pun and sometimes even a word written backward. And the hitch is...there's usually no indication of which comes first, or punctuation to mark the division! You've got to see through the clue-maker's deceptions and tease out the correct answer by rethinking the clue's wording. Some of the irresistible language trickery includes double definitions, hidden answers, homophones and containers.
