Product Description:
With more than 1,000,000 answers, this volume contains more than twice as many answers as any other crossword dictionary. More important, it is the first crossword dictionary ever to comprehensively cover the clues and answers that actually appear in today's most popular crosswords, including contemporary slang, phrases, and brand names.
Meticulously compiled by two crossword professionals with a combined thirty years in the field, and based on a massive analysis of current crosswords, there has never been a crossword dictionary with the breadth, depth, and currency of this one. From Jim Carrey to Sister Carrie, Homer Simpson to Homer's Iliad, the wide-ranging entries include 500,000+ synonyms, 3,000+ literary works, 5,000+ films, 20,000+ famous people from all fields, and more than 100,000 fill-in-the-blank clues so popular in today's crosswords.
Featuring an introduction by New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz, The Million Word Crossword Dictionary makes every other crossword dictionary obsolete.

Best overall dictionary out there. I use it for scrabble and for business letters, board minutes, etc. Highly recommended. They are very reasonably priced and make a great gift.

I had never seen this book before so I didn't know what to expect. This book is great! If you work crossword puzzles you definitely need this book.

Having used many different puzzle books there are none to equal its many entries. This the third time of purchasing this book. Others were worn out with use.

When I wrote the author ( as was requested ) to add new words and clues, I was including items from the Los Angeles Times. I did not receive responses?????
The books' value decreases with time. The 2005 edition has information through late 2004. It is now 2008. I'll rate a new edition as 5 stars:)
