Featuring an introduction by New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz, The Million Word Crossword Dictionary makes every other crossword dictionary obsolete.

This edition offers thousands of new entries, including slang terms; brand names; celebrity names; and films, novelists' works, sports Hall of Famers, automobile models, and more. The larger type size makes finding the answers easier than ever.
