Mini Math Crosswords

cover-page-puzzle

I’ve written a book of mathematical crossword puzzles (and another volume coming soon) available at this link: bit.ly/MiniMathCrosswords

The puzzles are mathematical in the sense that they contain lots of words and names from the mathematics community, not because the grids are filled with numbers or anything like that! That is, instead of the tricky wordplay you’ll find in newspaper puzzles, the crosswords in this book have theme answers and lots of other fill that are words and names from the math world that you might otherwise never see in a puzzle. If you’d like to see your math knowledge and trivia prove useful all throughout a puzzle, and not just every once in a while, then you’ll love these crosswords!

I also have a blog for standard (non-mathy) crossword puzzles: wordsxing.blogspot.com

I post a new puzzle once in a while, whenever I have one to share. You’ll find some themed puzzles and some themeless ones, as well as some experimentations with grid sizes and symmetry.

(P.S. I know that blog logo above with the road sign is terribly amateurish, but it’s the best I can do. Could you make it better? Email me! I’m willing to spend some $$ on graphic design.)

Published Puzzles

I have published a few puzzles in traditional crossword outlets, as well as some mathematically-themed puzzles through the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).
