摘要： A new computer word game with an action element where word holders fall from the top of the display area, with the goal being to throw letters upwards into each word holder to form a complete valid word in its letter spaces before the word holder reaches the bottom of the display. The player controls a letter selector and selects a letter to throw from a letter depot containing random letters. Word holders appear at random horizontal positions at the top of the display and are of various sizes depending on how many letter spaces they contain. When all letter spaces in a word holder are filled and form a valid word, the word holder disappears and the player is awarded points. If a word holder reaches the bottom of the display before the player has formed a valid word in all its letter spaces, the word holder disappears and the player looses a life. Letters successfully used in a word holder, or lost when the word holder reaches the display bottom are randomly replaced in the letter depot's empty spaces. Depending on the difficulty setting of the game, word holders can fall at various speeds and the interval between the appearances of successive word holders can vary.

摘要： A system and method which provides an interactive electronic puzzle game and rearranges that same puzzle after a certain amount of time has elapsed and the player has not performed a specific action required by the game. The interactive puzzle game comprises a player interface module, a player monitoring module connected to the player interface module and operable to detect actions of the player, a puzzle generation module that generates an electronic word-search puzzle, a clock module that sets a specific amount of time and a display module connected to the player interface module and operable to display the electronic puzzle to the player. If the player does not perform a specific action required by the game within an allotted amount of time, the puzzle generation module rearranges the electronic puzzle and the display module displays the rearranged electronic puzzle to the player for continued play. When the puzzle is rearranged, the amount of time is reset, the clock is restarted and the process of rearranging the puzzle is repeated until the puzzle is solved or the player ends the game.

摘要： A method of playing a game that has a puzzle and a conforming device. The puzzle includes ciphertext indicia and a number of designated spaces corresponding with the ciphertext for displaying a developing solution. The ciphertext is a message encrypted according to some substitutional and/or transpositional encipherment scheme. At each stage of solving, the ciphertext and developing solution show what has been correctly solved and what remains to be solved. The conforming device verifies the correctness of correct guesses and corrects incorrect guesses without prejudicing future guesses. There are manifold types of messages, encipherment schemes, developing solutions and conforming devices. Some puzzles and conforming devices are made by a computerized method. The game can be played by one player or several players in competition. It can be played using a game board or other apparatus or by using a computer with an interactive computer program. To solve a puzzle, a puzzle solver first forms a guess-pair. Typically, a guess-pair is a plain character and a cipher character that could be the plain character's substitute. The conforming device is used to verify the correctness of the guess-pair, or if it is wrong, to obtain a correction. The verified or corrected guess-pair is then used to update the developing solution. These three steps are repeated at least once. There are various scoring rules for various versions of the game.

摘要翻译： 一种玩游戏的方法，具有拼图和符合要求的装置。 拼图包括密文标记和与用于显示显影解决方案的密文相对应的多个指定空间。 密文是根据某些替代和/或转置加密方案加密的消息。 在解决的每一个阶段，密文和开发的解决方案显示了正确解决的内容，还有待解决的内容。 符合设备验证正确猜测的正确性，纠正不正确的猜测，而不会影响未来的猜测。 有多种类型的消息，加密方案，开发解决方案和一致的设备。 一些拼图和一致的装置是通过计算机化方法制作的。 该游戏可以由一个玩家或多个玩家进行比赛。 它可以使用游戏板或其他装置或使用具有交互式计算机程序的计算机进行播放。 为了解决难题，拼图求解器首先形成一个猜测对。 通常情况下，一个猜测对是一个普通的字符和一个加密字符，可以是纯字符的替代。 验证设备用于验证猜测对的正确性，或者如果错误，则获得校正。 然后使用验证或校正的猜测对来更新开发的解决方案。 这三个步骤至少重复一次。 各种游戏版本有不同的评分规则。

摘要： An efficient economical process is provided to produce an intricate impressive display with outstanding marketing and advertising appeal. In the process, multiple images are formed, such as on a central processing unit, the images are masked and striped, and portions thereof are superimposed. The superimposed masked images can be printed on an underlying back web. Transparent rods, a plate lens, a cluster of anamorphic lenses, or a grid, can be placed in front of the back web to provide a special display which has the illusion of animation as the angle of sight changes. The special display can be used to provide an attractive sign, billboard, educational game, or toy.
