World's Largest Crossword Puzzle
Measuring a full 7 feet by 7 feet and containing over 28,000 clues, it's hard to comprehend that a crossword puzzle can get much bigger than this one. Hang this monster on your wall using the included double-sided tape, and then unleash your inner cruciverbalist. The puzzle's challenge lies in its size; you have to consider the big picture, literally. Clues range from easy ("Ludwig ___ Beethoven") to the moderate ("'Whether one is or ___...': Plato"), so it's a great activity for one person, two people, or the whole family. The set includes a clue book, the puzzle grid, an answer grid, and the tape. --Lisa Whipple

PICKTWO! Crossword Game
Don't expect the quiet gentility of doing the Sunday New York Times crossword with this game--it's certainly crossword-based, though a good bit louder and faster. (But it does carry the credentials of being one of GAMES magazine's best new word games.) From three to six players start the game by racing to assemble eight tiles with letters into a sensible grid. The first one to do it shouts, "Pick two!" and then all the players have to incorporate two more tiles into their crossword. The pick-two cycle continues as the puzzle grows and more and more letters get added. The player who has used the most tiles successfully when all 180 are gone wins. A sand timer and pad of paper are included to help with scoring. --Paul Hughes
