9tidbits(R) is an original word game that takes the best part of a crossword puzzle and puts it in a new form. Instead of obscure words and references, tidbits(R) puzzles have a 'tidbit' - a sequence of letters that is part of every correct answer in a section of the puzzle. The effect is like a crossword puzzle half-solved, beginning at the point when the pace picks up and answers seem to pop into place. There's also a Hangman-style challenge in every tidbits(R) puzzle. The first letters of the correct answers spell out a phrase, and solving the phrase fills in the first letter of all the missing answers. It's this unique combination of puzzle elements that makes tidbits(R) puzzles fun for everyone from teens to seniors. This is book #1 in the series. Fifty puzzles, with answers included.
