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.
An apparatus for a puzzle game system for a player including a board which is used with relatively movable symbol bearing elements, and for which no predetermined solutions and no clues as to the solutions are required in order to play the game in two or more playing positions, wherein the apparatus comprises:
The method of playing a puzzle game system for which no predetermined solutions and no clues as to the solutions are required in order to play the game, said puzzle being comprised of a fixed three dimensional base frame body having a first side and a second side, and is capable of being turned to place either said first side up or said second side up into a playing position orientation, which body defines and carries a fixed cut-out template which is comprised of two or more fixed word files which intersect with one another, with each said fixed word file being oriented at an angle to each other said fixed word file with which it intersects, each said word file being elongated and having a pair of opposed top and bottom longitudinal edges, each said fixed word file top edge and bottom edge also defining a different playing position orientation, whereby said fixed base frame is adapted to be moved to orient said fixed cut-out template to two or more playing position orientations;
A board apparatus used in a game for a player in which symbol carrying relatively movable elements are used to form words or equations with the board, and for which no predetermined solutions and no clues as to the solutions are required in order to play the game, wherein the apparatus comprises:
The method of playing a puzzle game system for which no predetermined solutions and no clues as to the solutions are required in order to play the game, said puzzle being comprised of a three dimensional base frame body having a first side and a second side, and is capable of being turned to place either said first side up or said second side up into a playing position orientation, which body defines and carries a cut-out template which is comprised of two or more fixed word files which intersect with one another, with each said word file being oriented at an angle to each other said word file with which it intersects, each said word file having a pair of opposed top and bottom longitudinal edges, each said word file top edge and bottom edge also defining a different playing position orientation, whereby said base frame is adapted to be moved to orient said cut-out template to two or more playing position orientations;
The method of playing a puzzle game system for which no predetermined solutions and no clues as to the solutions are required in order to play the game, said puzzle being comprised of a three dimensional base frame body having a first side and a second side, and is capable of being turned to place either said first side up or said second side up into a playing position orientation, which body defines and carries a cut-out template which is comprised of two or more fixed word files which intersect with one another, with each said word file being oriented at an angle to each other said word file with which it intersects, each said word file having a pair of opposed top and bottom longitudinal edges, each said word file top longitudinal edge and bottom longitudinal edge also defining a different playing position orientation, whereby said base frame is adapted to be moved to orient said cut-out template to two or more playing position orientations;
