Learn Latin through crossword puzzles!

Easy Latin Crossword Puzzles offers you 50 puzzles to learn and practice Latin words and expressions. The puzzles will challenge you and help you develop your grasp of basic Latin vocabulary.

The method to success with this book is Quid Pro Quo (exchanging one thing for another): to solve these puzzles you exchange English clues for Latin words that you select from a list. But look out: the list includes a few red herrings to make your choices more difficult. Of the 50 puzzles, eight involve well-know phrases and four are reversed, where you put an English word into the grid.

If you took Latin long ago, you'll find this an enjoyable way to study it de novo (anew). If Latin is terra incognita (an unknown area) for you, the puzzles will help expand your English vocabulary as well as your knowledge of Latin. And if you run into difficulties, just remember errare humanum est (to err is human), and consult the answers at the back of the book.

Tempus fugit (time flies) when you're having fun with Easy Latin Crossword Puzzles!

The puzzles feature English clues with Latin answers, except for four puzzles which have Latin clues with English answers.
