Puns can make you laugh or groan, but when theyre clues to these challenging and fun crossword puzzles, theyll make you smile with satisfaction. Can you find the five-letter word for "a race thats always a tie"? (Answer: ASCOT.) How about the three-letter word for "performing a scull operation"? (Answer: ROW.) If you can get those in short order, how about moving on to a 10-letter word for "small fries." (That answer is MICROCHIP.) Most of the puzzles are built around themes with several related words such as vegetables, insects, or Dr. Seuss books. But watch out--the vegetables may be spelled backwards; the insects are puns; and some of the Dr. Seuss puzzle answers include FIGURE OF SNEETCH, GRINCH MEAN TIME, and LAUNCHED A WOCKET. You can find the answers in back, but theyre scattered around to make it harder to cheat.
