PREFACE

A word about TRICKY, TOPICAL, ULTIMATE CROSSWORDS.

Initially we had thought the name KITTLE NOESIS was the apt name for this book. In fact it was copyrighted in that name. KITTLE actually means 'puzzle and NOESIS is an 'intellectual activity of the mind'. What Better than the activity to be put down in an exercise as old as the crossword?

Edu-tainment is the primary aim of this book. The focus of education has undergone rapid changes and traditional pedagogy has recognized the importance of imparting knowledge, by encouraging the students to go in search of information and finding out facts for themselves. Workbooks have been the obvious result in such turn of pedagogic focus. This book aims to keep up this effort and supplement the academic syllabus with this topical crossword book. It encourages the young mind to go in search of serious knowledge in an informal way. Giving the readers and students a collection of crosswords in a book form, enhancing the portability and accessibility of crosswords.

Tricky Topical Ultimate Crosswords' is a resource material of general knowledge and is of special interest to quiz participants. Thus 'Quest for Knowledge' is the essential motto of this book.

The research has been vast, but to pen all is not possible. As a change from the traditional crossword, Tricky Topical Ultimate Crosswords are based on topics. The crossword emerges by linking the words together from the 50 chosen topics that reflect the authors' preference and the crossword addicts choice. There are 4,600 plus words in this Book. Please note, while solving the crossword, the topic referred to, is understood. Further, that each Jumbo Topical Crossword has self forming words, abbreviations, acronyms, prepositions, etc. that have no reference to the topic covered. Note that such 'self forming' words, are neither numbered, nor listed in the clues, however, the glossary comes to the aid of the solver in the latter pages.
