  • Publication number: 20110084446
    Abstract: A word clue puzzle based game in which a player shifts horizontal positions of alphabet tiles (left or right) in a 2D surface, or rotates concentric blocks carrying lateral alphabet tiles in a 3D geometry, to find word clues formed by grouping adjacent alphabets in a combination of horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. Word clues could be words, names, phases or statements. The game could be achieved on paper, on board, with geometrical models, or in electronic and computerized game simulation formats. Complexity of the game could be enhanced by rotating blocks of alphabet tiles overlapping a 2D background of alphabet tiles or by increasing the dimensions of the grid surface to solve for word clues. Alphabets used in the game are not restricted to English only and are applicable to any other language characters.
