Large Print Crosswords Puzzle Book

Large print crosswords puzzle book.  This book has 40 puzzles with clues and grid on one page and the answer on the next.  The pages are slightly perforated so they can be torn out.  The text is lovely and large, with a strong contrast against the white paper.  As far as I can tell it’s UK English.  The clues are simple, not cryptic.

We also have some other large print crossword puzzle books –

Plus some other large print puzzle book too (word search and criss cross).

I’ve done a very quick comparison of the type size compared to a couple of magazine crossword puzzles I’ve found.  Some photos are included.  I printed the alphabet in different point sizes of Arial to guess at the point size of the puzzle book.  I also measured the puzzle grid.  It’s not hugely scientific, but I hope it helps!

• Gardeners’ World magazine crossword – text 8pt, grid 8.3 cm by 8.3cm
• Which? magazine crossword – text 7pt, grid 7.3cm by 7.3cm
• I newspaper ‘concise’ crossword – text 10pt, grid 9.8cm by 9.8cm
• This puzzle book crossword – text 16pt, grid 14.4cm by 14.4cm

So this puzzle book has got quite a lot larger print and larger grids.
