    Synopsis

    If you love toying with letters, manipulating meanings, and playing around with puns, The Literate Puzzler will keep you happy for hours on end. Try your hand (and best bring your mind along for the ride) at word structure games, anagrams, alphacryptics, rebuses, and much more.

    You’ll be challenged to find the hidden high school-related word in this sentence: “Subtract the D and that confounded subject is gradable.” Or work out this rebus of a classic T.V show: SPLOSTACE. The alphacryptic will require you to uncover a word or phrase suggested by an alphabet string, such as

    ABCDEFGIJKLMNPQRSTUVXYZ.   Hmmmmm?

    Words can’t describe the fun you’ll have with this book. Or can they?
