  • Cross-word board game construction system and method
    Patent number: 5282631
    Abstract: Word construction system (10) is provided to allow a user to form crossword puzzles or other indicia related games. System (10) includes strips of tape (16) which are divided into zoned elements (18, 18' and 18") having individual regions (20) on each where indicia (14) may be placed. The user then manipulates and relocates zoned elements (18, 18' and 18") using common indicia (14) to allow one zoned element to be an overlay for another zoned element. In this manner, there is provided a mechanism and method where a user may form a word game which is individualistic in nature and may have differing patterns for the same words or indicia (14) used.
