My wife and children seem like a distant memory now that I have this wonderful crossword puzzle. I dread its completion, yet yearn to make it happen as soon as humanly possible. This must be how the male praying mantis feels.

Meant to order item CSB101, Toilet Dog & Cat Water Bowl, but somehow got this instead. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I'm on cloud nine unlocking the biggest puzzle since the human genome. My dog is still drinking out of a non-toilet-shaped water bowl, but I'll find time to degrade him later.

Bought this for my father-in-law, who had the audacity to tell me he was the Crossword King. After watching him struggle for days on this mighty beast of a puzzle, I forced him to disavow his title and admit he is just a glorified crossword puzzle enthusiast at best. Thanks for putting that washed-up nobody in his place, SkyMall.

I love crossword puzzles and always wondered if I had the chops to take my game to the next level. Turns out I don't. Thank you SkyMall for making me realize the futility of my dream. I've decided to focus on something more attainable: Having really moist hands all the time. Doing great so far.

I bought this as a retirement gift for my dear sweet mother. After not hearing from her for weeks, I visited her house and found she had bashed her head against this puzzle until she passed out and died. The material absorbed the blood readily, ruining the whole thing. Maybe future versions could be more glossy and fluid-resistant? $30 is a lot for a puzzle.

Kudos to the folks who made this but can anyone tell me if "dingle " is one of the words? If it is I won't have anything to do with this puzzle.

By ANGRY CUSTOMER from THE SKY

First of all, SkyMall should not be selling this. I attempted to unfold this puzzle on a long cross-country flight and was told I needed to put it away because it was too big and interfering with other passengers and FAA safety regulations. I explained, "no, this product was sold by SkyMall and is therefore perfectly safe to use in the sky." I showed them the page in the SkyMall with this puzzle, and they still insisted I put it away. They also refused to let me use my Electric Leaf Mulcher (Item #373797J) during the flight. SkyMall should change its name and stop advertising on planes if its products are not acceptable to use during flights.

I started this puzzle over a year ago and have just now finished the first upper left quadrant. Steadying my nerves for the upper right, and knowing full well each word will take a day off my life, if not more. I don't like what it's doing to me. I don't like it at all.

After working my way to the edges of this puzzle, I realized I could just start writing words on my wall, and with the complete freedom to choose those words instead of going off a clue book. I ripped the puzzle down and have been methodically writing all kinds of words on my walls with a red sharpie. It's great and doesn't cost me a dime. DON'T BUY THIS YOU DON'T NEED IT.

Bad, bad, bad, bad. This puzzle caused my autistic son to flip out and burn our house down. Product came with no warning about that.
