How to Use This Book 1. One puzzle, two pages Each puzzle fills a facing spread: clues on the left, grid on the right. Keep both pages in view as you solve. 2. Start anywhere Choose an Across or Down clue. Find its number in the grid, then write one letter in each white square. Crossing letters can help. 3. Find the hidden word Some grid squares are shaded. Read their letters left to right, then top to bottom, to uncover the hidden word. The first bonus section below the grid gives you a clue. 4. Unscramble one more In the second bonus section, rearrange the jumbled letters to make one more word from that decade. Every answer, including both bonuses, is at the back. 6
