ABSTRACT:
This puzzle game system utilizes a movable base frame 12 which defines within its body a cut-out template 26 which defines a crossed word pattern. The cut-out template 26 defines at least two intersecting word files 28, with each word file 28 being oriented at an angle to each other word file with which it intersects. A plurality of movable elements 14 which are size and shape to be received within the word files 28 are provided. Each element 14 has a display surface 18 for at least one symbol 16. To play the game, one edge of one word file 28 within base frame 12 is oriented cross-wise in front of the player and a plurality of symbol bearing movable elements 14 are provided which are at least sufficient to solve the puzzle. As a next step, base frame 12 is turned to orient one edge of a different word file 28 cross-wise in front of the player, and the puzzle is again solved. This process is continued until the base frame 12 has been solved in each of its edge orientations. Then, where the base frame 12 is three dimensional and two sided and is capable of being turned-over, the base frame 12 can be turned over, and the puzzle again solved for each edge orientation thereby providing twice as many different crossed word puzzles from a single frame 12.
