Abstract

See full text

A word puzzle device in which an unknown word is solved by substituting, for each of the unknown letters, the letters of the alphabet, and combining these letters with the letters known to exist in the unknown word to determine the identity of the word. The word puzzle device includes a plurality of elongated strips each having two sets of equally spaced letters. One set of letters is oriented vertically and another of said sets is oriented horizontally. A housing retains said plurality of strips in parallel and for longitudinal movement and has a first opening for viewing said vertically oriented letters and a second opening for viewing said horizontally oriented letters on each of said plurality of strips. The strips are moved to display different letter combinations through said openings. By combining letters of the alphabet, for any known letter, with letters known to form part of the unknown word, the unknown word can be discovered.
