ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a word puzzle game whose elements are: a substrate which carries a letter field of spaces defined by lines on the substrate; a letter in each space; means associated with the spaces for indicating the removal from play of the letters after they have been used; a set of word clues associated with and keyed to the letter field; and a puzzle statement whose solution is dependent upon the proper solution of said word clues and which is revealed by the letters and the unused spaces of the letter field. All word clues and puzzle statement solutions are lettered in sequence, but may run in any direction--up, down, across, backward or diagonally, and no letters are used more than once.
In play, the player considers word clues, solves each clue by finding the word answer in the unused letters in the letter field, indicates their removal from play by marking the means provided for that purpose, then considers a conundrum which is posed and finds the answer in the words which can be formed from the remaining unused letters in the letter field.
