Join me in the quest to find out the answers.

Btw, the book has a great and interesting foreword by Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me. 🙂

Thanks http://www.visualphotos.com for the photo.

 

Here are my sources of daily crosswords:

http://webcrosswords.com/daily-crossword-puzzles/  —  click Play Now to solve the current puzzle or click the drop down menu (upper right hand, down arrow) for past puzzles.

http://webcrosswords.com/la-times-crossword/  — click on the Featured Puzzle box.

In terms of degree of difficulty – from easiest, I’d say — Thomas Joseph, webcrosswords, USA today then LA Times.

If you hit a rut,   try http://crosswordheaven.com/ for hints.  Although,  webcrosswords, usa today and la times have an option to show the solved puzzle. But that wouldn’t be fun, right?
