Description
Forty big grids, twenty-six words each, and no mercy.

Each of the forty puzzles is an 18 × 18 grid with twenty-six words, longer words and trickier themes: mountains and oceans, birds, trees, rocks and minerals, the solar system, the human body, musical instruments, composers, painters, capital cities, rivers, islands, desserts, cheeses, spices, dinosaurs, gemstones, geometry, Greek mythology, medieval life and ancient Egypt.
