The answers are fairly common words and phrases--but the clues are diabolically difficult, with mischievous misdirections, trivia, puns, and other trickery. Try this: "change of heart" (15 letters). Answer: "organ transplant." "Finely crafted crosswords that will put your word and trivia skills to a severe test."--Will Shortz, Crossword Editor, "The New York Times."

Cranium-Crushing Crosswords

The sudoku craze keeps growing, with no end in sight--and as its popularity builds, fans keep an eagle eye out for fresh formats featuring their favorite puzzles. Here’s one sure to draw them in: sudokus that add a little spice to the mix by changing the standard 9 x 9 puzzles to 10 x 10. That means solvers get 100 squares to fill in instead of just 81! And the numbers go from zero to nine, rather than one to nine. Plus, the smaller sections within each grid are no longer 3 x 3: half the puzzles feature rectangular 5 x 2 boxes and the rest come in various random shapes, with heavy lines marking out the separate areas. It may seem daunting at first--but it’s fun!
