ABSTRACT:
The crossword puzzle board game provides for competitive play in the solving of a crossword puzzle by two or more players. Players attempt to solve the puzzle by solving selectively revealed clues determined by a row or column determination die and selection of a row or column selection card. An answer is verified by removing concealing markers previously placed over the solution on a puzzle sheet. Alternatively, the solutions may be optically concealed, with a special viewer allowing them to be viewed. Points are distributed for correct answers according to the order in which the clues are solved; points are deducted for incorrect or misspelled answers. A player may attempt to solve one clue, or to “SNEAK A PEEK” under one marker and receive zero points at his or her turn. The game ends when all clues are answered; stalemates are not possible. The highest scoring player wins the game.
