Welcome to Puzzles For You

It was over the kitchen table that my love and interest for crosswords and puzzles would begin.

My grandma and grandpa would sometimes work together, sometimes do their own crosswords. The ten-year-old me would flit between them and "help" as best as I could.

It was the age before internet, so if we were stuck, we had to look up in a lexicon and apply some lateral thinking. Every week, we would get new, fresh crosswords and puzzles in the mail. My grandma would admonish my grandpa if he took the easy ones. I still remember with pride when I could finish one without their help.

They are both no longer with us, and I had forgotten about those evenings until recently. I was working on making STEM related activities for my son and his peers, when one of the parents asked if they could have the handouts for the spy themed day. This gave me the inspiration of creating the interactive puzzle books and booklets.

It's with them and the ten-year-old me that I create these, and I hope you enjoy them.
