Based on a massive analysis of the clues and answers from today’s most popular crosswords, Collins Million Word Crossword Dictionary is the perfect resource for tackling crosswords of all kinds.

With more than 1,000,000 solutions, it’s the ultimate reference for anyone who’s ever been stumped by a crossword clue!

Meticulously compiled by two crossword professionals with a combined thirty years in the field, and based on the most extensive analysis of current crosswords, there has never been a crossword dictionary with the breadth, depth, and currency of this one.

From Homer’s Iliad to Homer Simpson, the wide-ranging entries include 500,000+ synonyms, 3,000+ literary works, 5,000+ films, 20,000+ famous people from all fields, and more than 100,000 fill-in-the-blank clues.

An essential source of help for crossword solvers in the UK, Australia, and beyond, this book will develop your crossword skills through showing you how compilers have constructed their clues.

Whether you use the book as your first or last resort when faced with a new crossword is entirely up to you!
