Synopsis "The Rockhound's Book of Puzzles: Puzzles for Those Who Love Rocks"
If you had told me four years ago that I was going to fall in love with rocks, I would have said, "You're crazy." Now, I'm the one who's crazy for the treasure hunt. And that's why this puzzle book exists. It's a different kind of hunt. It won't leave you grimy. You won't need a pick or shovel. It puts your rockhounding smarts to a different use. Instead of a prybar, you'll wield a pen or pencil. This book isn't meant to be exhaustive. It won't tell you everything you need to know about rocks or geology. Yet, it's a fun way to test your existing knowledge or to learn about rocks if you're just starting out. * Crosswords, Fill In and Word Search puzzles use rockhounding terms as their foundation and additional words to make the puzzles work. If there's a glossary preceding a puzzle, be sure to read it. This is where you'll learn interesting facts about rocks and geology you might not have learned without those fillers. The Two in and Star Words puzzles include a glossary in the answer key. * Keywords, Alphabet Soup, Crypto Words and Scrambled Words puzzles contain words related to rocks and geology. * Cryptogram, Piece by Piece, Flip Phone and Keypad Swap puzzles focus on jokes and information. * Interlace words may not be related to rocks, yet the solution will be. * How Many Words puzzles offer another way to have fun with minerals. * Dittos puzzles have clues so they're easier to solve. * Sudoku puzzles replace numbers with gems. * Additional puzzle types like 12 Words in One, Rambling Words, Bubble Words, From A to Z, Word Mirror, and Right Moves add variety to the mix.
