Brain-busting, mind-bending, hair-tearing fun from one of America’s top puzzle makers!

Get two for one! With this combination of Trickledowns and StickLinks, puzzle fans will enjoy a double dose of entertainment.

The rules for Trickledowns—the blockbuster puzzles that regularly appear in USA Weekend magazine—are simple. Each puzzle offers two words of the same length; the aim is to change one letter at a time until you’ve finally transformed the first into the last.

StickLinks are words searches, with a big PLUS: they all include a famous quote within the grid. The goal is to draw straight lines from one letter to another until the quote is revealed—but each letter can be used only once.

One try, and you’ll see why these are the hottest puzzles with millions of solvers!
