Puzzle Books For The Gourmet Palate

101 Enigmatic Puzzles

Fractal Mazes, Quantum Chess, Anagram Sudoku, and More

by Mark J. P. Wolf

101 Enigmatic Puzzles is a smorgasbord of puzzles for the puzzle connoisseur who wants hearty meals, not just a series of snacks. Unlike many puzzle books which feature a large number of little puzzles, each of which only takes a few minutes, most of these puzzles are carefully constructed to provide a challenge for the serious puzzler who enjoys being immersed in a puzzle.

Many of the puzzles here will likely take a while to solve, perhaps even an entire afternoon; though one can, of course, browse and graze without fully jumping into solving them, allowing casual puzzlers to explore and enjoy them as well. Most of the puzzles here introduce new twists on older puzzle forms, and some introduce new forms of puzzles as well; puzzles that, in addition to needing solutions, require one to figure out how to go about solving them.

The range of puzzles is as broad as the book's intended audience; whether one enjoys logic puzzles, mazes, chess puzzles, crossword puzzles, Sudoku, number puzzles, trivia puzzles, or word puzzles, one will find them all here, and new versions and varieties of each of them as well. Bon appetit!
