Solving word search puzzles should tax your mind, not your eyes.
Luckily, puzzlesmith Mark Danna has provided plenty of word search
challenges with large type for your enjoyment. The letters in the
grid are large, and so are the letters in the word lists, so if you
still can't find a word, it won't be because you couldn't read it.

missing.
After Su Doku, Hashi is one of the most popular Japanese logic
puzzles in Japan. Hashi requires logic and reasoning, not
mathematical ability. If you think Su Doku is addictive, you'll
certainly enjoy the challenge of Hashi. This is a collection of 150
new puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty: 10 easy, 30 mild, 60
difficult, 40 super difficult, and 10 super super difficult. Hashi
means 'Bridge' in Japanese. In Hashi you must connect a series of
circles (islands) containing numbers by lines (bridges) so that the
islands form one continuous connected path. Easy enough? Well there
are naturally some extra rules to make life a little harder: the
bridges must be straight lines, running horizontally or vertically
between the islands; they cannot run diagonally. The bridges cannot
cross each other or any island. The number of bridges connected to
each island is the same as the number inside the island and there
can be a maximum of two bridges between any two islands.
Challenge yourself with numeric puzzles in this modern twist on the
classic word search. SumSearch features 100 puzzles of escalating
difficulty that force you to look at numbers in a new way. Each
puzzle features a goal number and a set number of combinations
hidden within the puzzle. Seek out the sums that add up to the goal
number to complete the challenge. Beginner puzzles tell you exactly
what to look for, but Intermediate and Expert puzzles just tell you
how many to find. All of them will strengthen your cognitive
abilities and problem-solving skills. SumSearch is perfect as a
traveling companion and a quick mind refresher, for practicing
arithmetic, or for having brain battles of epic proportions.
It appears we are a nation of puzzle obsessives after the
phenomenal response to Su Doku. For those Su Doku fiends who are
eager for variety, here is a collection of four of the most popular
Japanese Logic Puzzles - Hitori, Hashi, Slitherlink, Mosaic.
Guaranteed to strain your brain for hours. 200 new puzzles arranged
according to difficulty. The four main puzzles are: Hitori -a 7x7
grid and the aim is to shade in the squares so that no number
appears more than once in any row or column and no two adjacent
squares, both horizontally and vertically, are both shaded. All the
cells with numbers in will then form a single connected shape that
is not divided up by shaded squares. All the single numbers you
don't black out will be connected. Hashi consists of circles
containing numbers. The circles act as islands. The object is to
connect the islands with vertical and horizontal bridges. The
number of bridges linked to an island must equal the number inside
the island. There must also be a continuous path connecting all the
islands. There can be up to two bridges between two islands.
Bridges cannot cross islands or other bridges Slitherlink - a 10x10
grid composed of dots rather than lines. The aim is to connect
adjacent dots with vertical or horizontal lines so that a single
loop is formed with no crossings or branches. Each number indicates
how many lines surround it, while empty cells may be surrounded by
any number of lines. Mosaic - a 15x15 grid. This puzzle is based on
looking at a square and those around it, rather than rows or
columns of cells. Using simple logic alone, it is possible, from
the numbers given, to fill in the grid and create a pixelated
picture. In the grid, most cells have eight neighbours, making a
block of nine cells: Cells along an edge have five neighbours and
those in the corner only three. The number in a cell tells you how
many of its adjacent cells and how many of its neighbours adjacent
cells are to be filled in. The quantities are as follows -75 Hashi,
75 Slitherlink, 30 Hitori and 20 Mosaic. Includes hints and tips on
how to solve them. As with Su Doku it is all about logic and
reasoning, not mathematical genius.

mild, difficult and fiendish - to challenge, stimulate and divert
all Su Doku addicts. The Times Su Doku remains the original, the
best and the market leader.
