Portland, Oregon -- Everything you need to know about a newly published paperback is found by unscrambling the letters in the headline: television is fun. "Leona Raisin's TV Game" mixes word jumbles and trivia in a book for the TV generation.
Each of the book's 100 pages offers a different TV-related category under which there are five or more anagram puzzles. The anagrams take the form of fun phrases, with television trivia provided as a clue to the solution. Here is a sample from the category "A Very Brady Puzzle":
He recorded a 2001 solo album
"The Return of Johnny Bravo."
WARM A SILLY RIB
The answer is Barry Williams. And in the book, answers for each category can be found on the subsequent page.
Leona Raisin's TV Game puts a unique twist to the humble jumbled word puzzle by devoting the entire volume to television. Unlike a random string of letters that are rearranged to solve a puzzle, these anagrams form actual words. Often, the anagrammed phrases relate directly to the category itself. As an example, here is a clue and anagram from the category "Cooking On The Food Channel":
This personable chef hosted his
self-named "Live" and "Essence" shows.
A SESAME GRILLE
In addition to the 486 TV jumbles, the book is illustrated with caricatures of Leona Raisin herself. Plus, there are five categories in the book that point the reader to additional animated games on the Internet.
Leona Raisin's TV Game is available on Amazon.com for $8.99, less than two cents for each puzzle in the book. Buy three copies and get free shipping. Makes a great holiday gift for puzzle-loving friends.
