Dear Writers’ Division and STYLIST Members
Reminder- Word Puzzles for December, joining us we have a Puzzle Master from the National Puzzlers League
Our special guest is Alan Stillson, he is a puzzle master and comes to us through the National Puzzlers League. Interesting enough, Alan is also a published author! Below is a short biographical sketch provided to us from Alan and immediately following are samples of some of the puzzle types that he will challenged us with.
My name is Alan Stillson and I’m responding to your request for a member of National Puzzlers League to help you with a conference call on Sunday Dec. 26th. I’m the author or co-author of nine puzzle books (please see http://stillsonworks.com for details) and have done several radio and television interviews over the years. Many of my puzzles are short brainteasers and would be perfect for NFB members. I’d be happy to send you some samples of puzzles that are designed to be solved without seeing or writing.
Thank you for thinking of NPL.
