"The magazine layout is superb. Crisp, easy-to-read diagrams with bold font, and plenty of extra space for scribblers. The letter-set bar is a handy device for tracking progress. Sherlock couldn't ask for more. Alpha Sleuth® is a puzzler's haven! Magnifying glass not required."
Mike Neumeier / Cincinnati, Ohio (USA)
"I've really enjoyed my introduction to Alpha Sleuth®™. For me, the difficulty level is just right: initially the puzzles seem quite mind-boggling, but there are a number of different techniques -- some methodical, some intuitive -- that can be employed, and one soon begins to derive the satisfaction of making progress and then cracking it. I look forward to progressing to Level 10 one day!"
Christopher Jones / Henbury/Bristol (England)
"My wife and I fell for Alpha Sleuth® instantly! It's fun, it's clever, it's clear and pleasant to the eye. In a word: it's entertaining. Although my English is far from perfect, I find I can do the lower levels. My wife, who is an American and who enjoys puzzles and crosswords, struggles at the highest levels. We have a little secret though: using the alphabetic sequence, we have a good chance at guessing the phrase -- and then we go back to the grid. Ha Ha -- bet the Meinking family didn't think of that! :-)"
Noam Livnat / Lev Hashomron (Israel)
"The Alpha Sleuth™ puzzle concept is very clearly explained, and there are solving tips and even a tutorial. Additionally, hints, a word list, and a complete solution is included for each puzzle. You don't have to be a specialized wordsmith -- most words are common. The printed magazine is beautiful. The Alpha Sleuth® offers 10 levels of fun with a capital F!"
Robert Clyde Moore, author / Tahlequah, Oklahoma (USA)
"Alpha Sleuth® is a clever new form of grid puzzle. It is mainly about words, with the attractive feature that they are common -- not obscure -- words. But it also exercises the solver's reasoning powers. So an Alpha Sleuth® a day should keep dementia at bay!"
Sir Jeremy Morse / London (England)
"Alpha Sleuth® is a highly addictive mixture of Sudoku, Jumble and crossword puzzles! My mom and I 'race' each other... a real bonus now that there are online Solving Contests. We've enjoyed Alpha Sleuth® magazine immensely, and anxiously await the next issue! The puzzles are well thought-out, and very clear. I'm currently solving the Level 5 puzzles, so have a ways to go to become a Master Sleuth, but I will get there. Keep 'em coming!"

Your contest puzzles take care of the "Sunday Blahs". We look so forward to it! We print off 4 copies and the family all takes part in solving it. We have heard that if you work puzzles you will never get Alzheimer's, so that is our reason for doing it! Keep them coming!
Mary Neumeier & family / Wapakoneta, OH (USA)
