Amazon's Description:

A Great Collection Of Puzzles For Your Mind & Brain!

This is a simple and straight-forward book. It is a collection of over 550 small word-based linguistic puzzles that are meant to challenge and entertain you. They range in difficulty and style, they are fun to share, and they are easy to understand. They share with riddles that great "aha!" moment when you solve them, but unlike many riddle books these are very bite-sized and linguistic-based. Fun to share with others and perhaps different than what you're used to.

This book has eleven different types of puzzles in it. Please continue reading to see the puzzle types along with an example. If you find them interesting, there are hundreds and hundreds more in the book!
