I love those variety logic puzzle books you can get in the magazine section of the store. They’re my way of winding down my brain at the end of the day–though I have several friends who can not comprehend how those help me wind down.
I found the Tyndale Inspirational Zingers Jumble comparable to one of those logic puzzle books though there were not half a many type of different logic puzzles to tackle. Still, the six kinds that were in there, gave my brain a bit of a workout and I’ll be finishing the entire book up as my evenings wear on.
At first, it was too easy. However, by the fifth puzzle, I was having to think, and saw that the puzzles grew in difficulty as the pages wore on.
Jumbles
A list of six words is given with a corresponding clue. They are scrambled and there are boxes below them to insert the unscrambled letters. Some of those boxes contain circles. Once the boxes are filled in, the circled letters form yet another scrambled word to work out and place into a sentenced clue.
Double Jumbles
Again, a six word list is provided, this time without corresponding clues (definitely raising the difficulty level). In the boxes below are the circles and now, diamonds are also added. The letters in these shapes must be unscrambled to form not one, but two mystery words.
Mystery Person Jumble
Five scrambled words are provided without clues (though they do revolve around a theme) and the usual squares with circles underneath them. The circled letters unscramble to form a person’s name, which goes with the “zinger”, aka, quote they said.
Word Search Jumble
A list of six words to unscramble. These words then can be found in a word search box to the right. They also contain a mystery word, as the above puzzles have done, using circles in the boxes.
Super Jumbles
A box of clues is given, in no particular order. They go along with a list of eight scrambled words. Following the typical scenario, they are unscrambled into boxes below with both diamonds and circles. The letter contained in those shapes then reveal two more mystery words to be unscrambled.
Criss Cross Jumble
This is like your typical cross word puzzle, except that you have to unscramble your clues to insert into the cross word puzzle. A scrambled word is given along with the clue. Once you insert that into the corresponding space (i.e. 1 across, 3 down) that space contains circles–which you guess it–can be unscrambled into another mystery word.
Although Inspirational Zingers Jumble weren’t as full of variety as my regular puzzle books and although they weren’t as difficult as them, I still enjoyed them and would more than likely pick up subsequent copies of them if I saw them in a store.
