As the Internet is to the telegraph, so this crossword dictionary compares to its predecessors. There has never been a crossword dictionary with the breadth and scope of this one: At more than 1,000,000 answers, more than 2x the answers of any other crossword dictionary. The New York Times Crossword Puzzle Dictionary runs a distant second at
Contains 64% of New York Times crossword answers--more than 2x the comprehensiveness of any other crossword dictionary. Today's competitive dictionaries have less than 30% of the answers in the New York Times crossword. The only crossword dictionary based on the actual clues in America's most popular crosswords. 92% of today's crossword answers are 7 letters or less, but about half the entries in today's dictionaries are 8 letters or more. These "filler" words bloat the books but don't enhance their use.

The main competitors have few, if any, such entries.
The only crossword dictionary compiled by crossword professionals with a combined 30+ years in the business.
Customer Reviews
Rating 5 - This is the one!!
I got this as a Christmas present along with another crossword dictionary, and this is by far the best one. Even if you don't think an answer is in here, check anyway. Most of the time you'll be pleasantly surprised. And if you can't find what you're looking for one way, try it a different way and there is a good possibility it's in there.
Rating 5 - Best crossword dictionary around.
After approx. a month of use this dictionary has been the most useful dictionary I've had. I also have used three other crossword dictionaries during this time period but the "Million Word Crossword Dictionary" has proved to be the better by far. I highly recommend this dictionary to crossword buffs. RCD.
Rating 5 - It should be called The GREAT Million Word Dictionary
The format of this "word book" is very helpful to the avid crossword solver. I usually do not enjoy looking for the answers in a resource book, but I find this dictionary to be interesting to read. I start to look up one thing and the next thing I know I am reading the rest of that page! Thanks for creating such an informative book.
Rating 5 - The Greatest Crossword Dictionary ever!
Since purchasing this dictionary, we have had no need for using any others. This contains every bit of information you would need to help solve your crosswords. This dictionary is well-worth the purchase price.
