A 2012 diary containing weekly Chihuahua puzzles is now available. You can order it online from Amazon.com — follow this link. Before long it will be listed by other online booksellers.
The diary contains 54 puzzles, half of them nine-letter puzzles and half ten-letter puzzles. The puzzles are larger than many of the puzzles on this website, with the aim of keeping you occupied throughout the week. Each puzzle has between 71 and 100 common words to find, with a corresponding large tally of rare words. Total words, common and rare, range between 136 and 218.
All the possible words for each puzzle are listed at the back of the diary.
The diary also identifies important dates often overlooked, such as Noah Webster's birthday and the anniversary of the first crossword puzzle.
