This puzzle collection comprises sets of six 5-by-5 mini crosswords that contain a puzzle within a puzzle. After all six mini crosswords are solved, select one answer from each of the first five grids, in order, to make a five-word clue. The answer to that clue is hidden in the last grid, on a path winding through horizontally and vertically adjacent squares. Bite-size and accessible, these puzzles are a perfect introduction to meta crosswords for the casual solver, while the elegant construction will satisfy any crossword connoisseur.
