[Joseph Burk · Rating 4 out of 5]

I remember studying and scanning this book for hours at end. I was entering a contest in a magazine in which you had to find as many words as you could using only the letters of the magazine's name. I had a lot of fun in that contest but unfortunately, I didn't win. I forget how many words I found but this book helped me a lot.

This is a cute curiosity. Before the list of 20,000 words, we get a short list of spelling helps and homonymns.
