Quality Popular Crossword Puzzles Jumbo

I bought a year's subscription back in 2015 and as I don't go through them very fast, the 12 issues lasted me until now. I renewed 6-2-20 and it took over 2 months to arrive. That was okay, but upon finally receiving, I realized the issue was thinner. The magazines used to have 90 puzzles. This Sep 20 issue has just 68. They also used to have easy, medium, hard, and challenger levels. Now, it just has the first 3 levels, with no challenger puzzles. Nowhere in the description does it state this information, and the reason I gave it 4 stars. Was disappointed to discover this, but I will say the much lower price does reflect the shorter issues. I do enjoy the Quality Popular name brand. Guess I'll just be renewing more often now.

I really like this book. they used to carry it in different stores but now I could only get it by substription. It has 4 different levels. Easy, Medium, Hard and Challenger. It helps keep me mentally sharp. I like it because I get the clues they are not so general that you dont get them. Whats the point of doing a crossword where you dont even get the clues. Its a waste of time and money but this one I do get and really like it. I only have 2 complaints. No. 1 it took forever to get here. No. 2 it was not sent in any kind of envelope so the cover was torn. I really thought it would be in at least a clear plastic bag type envelope. I mean come on. I guess it got caught in USPS sorting machine and got torn.

While the subscription on these seems high, you save a lot of money over buying them at the store. These puzzles are perfect for beginners wanting to learn and yet they seem to work well even as your knowledge level grows. We have been doing these since we started doing crosswords years ago and have yet to get bored with them. An excellent puzzle book. Has puzzles from beginners to advanced all in one book.

My Mom loves these puzzle books because most others are too easy for her. These are more challenging, but not impossible. She usually buys them at the local grocery store, but they only stock a few, so sometimes she misses them. They come out once a month. So for Mother's Day, I got her a subscription. She got her first issue today, 7/1, so it took about 6 weeks for 1st issue. But she is very happy with these! SHe loves that they come ahead of when you get them in the store & Amazon's price is the best I found! Well worth the money!

Not enough challenging crosswords in the magazine to suit me...and I ended up canceling the subscription after 6 months because I didn'thave enough time to keep up with the arrival each new magazine. Fo me, it is a better choice to purchase a magazine when I have completed one that I have on hand.

These crossword puzzles are just the right level for me. I have been a subscriber for over 20 years. I find they are not too easy nor are they too hard.

This was a gift for my 93 year old Mother. She looks forward to the new issue each time and I have renewed the subscription for Christmas for her.

Ordered the subscription for my mom three years in a row now , she love the layout of the pages , easy to read and it arrives on time!
