Book excerpt: The Awesome Book of Hieroglyph Crosswords is a new, exciting, and completely unique collection of 101 crossword puzzles! We've written the clues in Middle Egyptian hieroglyphs. But fear not! At the back of the book, we've also included a 19-page glossary of all the puzzle clue-words. There, we list each clue-word in hieroglyphs along with the word's transliteration, pronunciation, and meaning. Simply identify the clue-words, and write their English equivalents into the puzzles. Then you can check your solution against the solution to each puzzle that's on the back of the same page the puzzle is on - so it's easy to check your answers. We've based these crossword puzzles on a set of approximately 400 Middle Egyptian words, so this collection is a fun and effective way to learn and master a selection of basic Middle Egyptian vocabulary. The words used in the puzzles include nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, place names, Egyptian gods' names, and others. These are the real deal, and as you complete the puzzles, you will likely find that you're able to recognize some of the words you see in hieroglyphic texts in your visits to museums! This is one of a set of hieroglyph puzzle books published by Hieroglyphs.net.
