Every Saturday the Sun publishes a large general knowledge crossword – the Quizword. The Quizword provides a real challenge and this book brings together over 100 crosswords to tax the enthusiast.
The Quizword is a sort of pub quiz in which the questions have been turned into clues. The subjects covered include music, television, sport, radio, history, geography, mythology and current affairs.
Of course with a pub quiz you have to know the answers right away but with a Quizword you have the time to take up the challenge and hunt down the right answer.
Just to give a flavour, here some examples of clues:
