About this title

Synopsis

This collection of unusual puzzles challenges the reader not only to find solutions but, in the spirit of computing pioneer Alan Turingâ€s methodology, to tease out the rules of the puzzles themselves. The puzzles, which mainly involve words and letters, increase in difficulty as the book progresses, but cryptic titles and numerous optional hints (listed in a separate section) lead codebreakers step by step to solutions catalogued at the back.
