Good to know

There is no Christmas content, so the pack works for any midwinter week and for the first week back in January. The sudoku and cross-number puzzles are number puzzles with ordinary headings, so they work at any time of year. Levels are shown by stars on every page: one star Easier, two stars Core, three stars Challenge.
