PREFACE

Webster’s Crossword Puzzles are edited for three audiences. The first audience consists of students who
are actively building their vocabularies in either Spanish or English in order to take foreign service,
translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®)1 or similar examinations. By enjoying crossword
puzzles, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in either Spanish or
English. The second includes Spanish-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program
(ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program
(ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The third audience includes English-speaking
students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Spanish speakers enrolled in English speaking
schools.

This edition is for Level 1 vocabulary, where the higher the level number, the more complicated the
vocabulary. Though highly entertaining, if not addictive, this crossword puzzle book covers some 3000
vocabulary words. In this book, hints are in English, answers are in Spanish. This format is especially
fun (or easiest) for people learning English; the format is most instructive, however, for people learning
Spanish (i.e. the puzzles are a good challenge). Within each level, the puzzles are organized to expose
players to shorter and more common words first. Subsequent puzzles mostly build on these using longer
and more complicated vocabulary. Learning a language is always difficult. To ease the pain, hints are
provided in small script at the bottom of each page, though these are selected to prevent an engineered
solution to the puzzle. Players need to learn the meanings of the words in order to place them correctly.
Full solutions are provided in the back of the book. These two features (hints and verifiable solutions),
force the reader to decipher a word’s meaning and serves to improve vocabulary retention and
understanding. Translations are extracted from Webster’s Online Dictionary. Further definitions of
remaining terms as well as translations can be found at www.websters-online-dictionary.org. Enjoy!
