MERV GRIFFIN'S CROSSWORDS
 

    (Hasbro 2008) COMING FALL 2008 - ANNOUNCED AT TOY FAIR


    (St. Martins Griffin 2007) by Timothy Parker
    Three Editions [Ty Treadway and Merv Griffin on covers]

  
Each paperback book in this "official tie-in to new hit game show" includes 100 crossword puzzles. It's unclear whether some of the puzzles are identical to the puzzles used on the show, but since the show made less than 300 episodes, it's certain that not all of them are.  The first edition offers "easiest" puzzles, the second "easy" and the third "easy-to-hard".  Parker, the crossword editor for USA TODAY, is listed as the "puzzle producer" for the TV series.

COMING SOON?
Advertisements during some televised episodes announced that a new Crosswords game will be available through the Xbox Live Arcade.  No release date is known.
