A word forming game assembly for entertainment includes a panel, which comprises an array of elements. Each element can selectively present a first view, a second view, and a third view to a player. An integer generating device randomly generates an integer and presents the integer to the player. The player is permitted to select a set of the elements from the array of elements, based on the integer, for presentation of the second view. The second view of each element comprises a subset of letters of an alphabet. The player can select one of the letters from the subset of letters for presentation in the third view. The selected ones of the letters from the sets of the letters are required to comprise a word.

The Letter Cubes are block to make buildings that do not just make a statement with their rooms, walls and the like, but also make verbal statements with the blocks themselves. It has a series of three-dimensional fonts made with metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, recycled materials and other materials that magnetically, with knobs, hooks, snaps and tubes (and combinations of these and other interfaces) assemble into walls, buildings and other structures that communicate messages. These alphabets also have a series of related pieces that include numbers, punctuation and additional knobs, beams and panels that enable construction of a wide range of buildings, toys, structures and objects that are artistic, toys, games and that are otherwise useful as boxes, chairs, tables, etc. The invention comes in its own box that is assembled further to the same logic as the alphabets so it does not have packaging waste.

A timed word game played on a game board. Words are formed from a predetermined set of alphabet letter tiles, including wild tiles exchangeable for alphabet letters. The exact same set of tiles (level playing field) is provided to each player playing the DAILY CHALLENGE. Thus, the DAILY CHALLENGE competition is based solely on skill. Each tile has a value of “1”, “2” or “3”, indicated by color. Words may stand alone or be intersecting. A total score is determined from word cumulative tile value with a deduction for misspelled words. Higher point words receive bonus points. The tile set may have multiple tiles of the same letter, with the same or different values. A total score is displayed at games end, the words made and respective scores may be viewed and/or printed. Top scores for each day's DAILY CHALLENGE are published.

New and unique puzzle mechanics, systems, and methods are described herein. A puzzle grid comprising linearly arranged intersecting words, with each individual letter placed on a separate puzzle tile, may be divided into a plurality of puzzle pieces, where each puzzle piece is formed of one or more contiguous puzzle tiles. Each puzzle piece shape conforms to one of a predefined set of shapes. To mix up the puzzle grid, identically shaped puzzle pieces may be randomly shuffled and rotated if required so that the puzzle layout remains unchanged whereas the letters are scrambled. Also puzzle pieces whose shape exhibit rotational symmetry may be optionally rotated within the puzzle layout. Letters may maintain upright legibility. A user may then attempt to solve the puzzle by swapping identically shaped puzzle pieces and optionally rotating puzzle pieces whose shape exhibit rotational symmetry.

Methods and systems that facilitate generating and presenting a crossword puzzle. Methods include obtaining, from a content source, a plurality of data items. Using the plurality of data items, a dictionary of clue-word pairs are generated. A crossword layout is generated using a random crossword layout generator. The generated crossword layout is input to a model that outputs a likelihood that the input crossword layout results in a valid crossword. If the likelihood that the crossword layout results in a valid crossword puzzle satisfies a first threshold, a plurality of words in a set of clue-word pairs from among the plurality of clue-word pairs is inserted into the crossword layout. If the plurality of words inserted into the crossword layout results in a valid crossword puzzle, the crossword puzzle is provided to a user on a user device using the set of clue-word pairs.

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented puzzle-based game, and more particularly, to a system and method of providing and operating an interactive computer-implemented word-puzzle that is solved by selecting letters, with the assistance of clues, to create words that are linked such that the words contain letters arranged in a corresponding letter sequence.

A multiple player, turn-based, crossword game where there is a distinct colored collection of tiles for each player, and these tiles are shaped differently based upon their imprint of either a consonant or vowel. The amount and frequency of these imprinted letters and letter scores is consistent between each players' separate collection of tiles. Players take turns building and placing a word from their private tile holder which contains a random selection of their choice of N consonants and M vowels, where N and M can vary, but N+M is fixed and consistent between the players. Play continues until a player has successfully played all of the tiles in their collection. Unplayed tiles from the other players is then deducted from their score and added to the score of the player who played their last tile. The player with the highest recorded score is the winner.
