Word game with player-driven letter rearrangement

Abstract

This invention is a word puzzle (game) that uses a square grid of letters. The grid is comprised of a plurality of rows and columns of letters, where the number of rows and columns is equal. The preferred embodiment has four rows and four columns, but other dimensions are possible. This puzzle is geared primarily for individual players using internet-based embodiments, but this puzzle could also be the basis for a multi-player board game or have other physical embodiments. The player is presented with a square grid of letters, and the player's goal is to rearrange the letters to spell a plurality of words of a specified length. The number of words required for a correct solution and the number of letters in each word comprising the solution equal the dimensions of the grid. For example, the four-by-four grid solution requires four four-letter words for a correct solution.
