Pros and cons

What we like

  • 27 crossword puzzles and 40 word search puzzles
  • Each puzzle has five Jeopardy!-style clues that feed the solution
  • Categories include World History, State Capitals and Word Origins
  • Spiral bound, 160 pages, so it lies flat to write in

What may bother

  • Once the puzzles are filled in, the book is done
  • Many clues lean on American topics such as U.S. History and State Capitals
  • Only crosswords and word searches, no other puzzle types

Our verdict

77 / 100

Handy for a Jeopardy! fan who likes to answer before the contestants do. It also fits a trivia lover who wants something for a trip. Pick a different puzzle book for someone outside the U.S. trivia world.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
