This book includes 12 Anagram Magic Square Puzzles

An Anagram Magic Square is a word-puzzle game from Penny Dell Puzzles that combines anagrams with logical deduction to reveal a hidden phrase. Solvers rearrange letters to form words, placing them into a grid where the first letters or the words themselves often form a thematic connection or a hidden, often 3x3, structure that functions similar to a numerical magic square.

These puzzles are designed for entertainment, mental stimulation, and to challenge both vocabulary and deductive reasoning skills.

They are popular in Penny Press puzzle books and typically offer over 50 puzzles per volume. It is important to note that these differ from "alphamagic squares," which are mathematical structures where the word form of numbers (e.g., "one", "two") produces another magic square.
