Abstract

The word game uses a grid of squares, each carrying a letter, and tiles which carry the same letters. The tiles can be joined together in groups, each group having letters corresponding to aligned squares on the grid and forming a word. The tiles are parallelepiped and have the letter on one of the square bases (1). They are joined by tenons (7) and mortices (12) on the four lateral faces (3,4) and the four corners (5,6). On each tile the tenons and mortices are on opposite faces.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un jeu s'apparentant la fois à un puzzle et à un jeu de mots croisés. The present invention relates to a game similar to a puzzle and a crossword game.

Le jeu suivant l'invention comprend une grille de cases, portant chacune un motif, et des éléments, en le même nombre que les cases, et portant les mêmes motifs que celles-ci, ces éléments étant réunis en groupes, chaque groupe comportant des élé- ments correspondant à des cases alignées sur la grille. Le joueur doit rechercher dans la grille les divers groupes et les y placer tous. The game according to the invention comprises a grid of boxes, each carrying a pattern, and elements, in the same number as the boxes, and bearing the same patterns as the latter, these elements being brought together in groups, each group comprising elements corresponding to boxes aligned on the grid. The player must search the grid for the various groups and place them all there.

Suivant une variante, les éléments sont sensiblement des parallélépipèdes, dont l'une des bases carrées porte le motif; et sont munis de moyens conjugués de fixation et de retenue sur les quatre faces latérales et sur les quatre arêtes. De préférence, sur chaque élément, les moyens de fixation sont en des positions opposées à celles des moyens de retenue et le même motif, mais sens dessus-dessous, est porté sur les deux faces. According to a variant, the elements are substantially parallelepipeds, one of the square bases of which bears the pattern; and are provided with combined fixing and retaining means on the four lateral faces and on the four edges. Preferably, on each element, the fixing means are in positions opposite to those of the retaining means and the same pattern, but upside down, is worn on both sides.

Pour constituer un autre jeu semblable, il suffit d'assembler différemment les éléments, ce qui est possible tant par leurs moyens conjugués de fixation et de retenue que par le fait qu'en retournant l'un d'eux on peut toujours faire en sorte que le motif, qui peut être une lettre, apparaisse toujours à l'endroit.To constitute another similar set, it suffices to assemble the elements differently, which is possible as much by their combined means of fixing and retaining as by the fact that by turning over one of them one can always make sure that the pattern, which can be a letter, always appears right side up.

Pour rendre le jeu plus facile, chaque groupe est muni d'un reperde donnant la direction suivant laquelle il apparait sur la grille. To make the game easier, each group is provided with a reperde giving the direction in which it appears on the grid.

Suivant une autre variante, les groupes affectent la forme d'une liste de mots. According to another variant, the groups take the form of a list of words.

Au dessin annexé, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple
la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un élément du jeu suivant l'invention
la figure 2 est une vue en plan d'un groupe de tels éléments
la figure 3 illustre une grille et une liste de mots.
In the accompanying drawing, given only by way of example
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an element of the game according to the invention
Figure 2 is a plan view of a group of such elements
Figure 3 illustrates a grid and a list of words.

L'élément est un parallélépipède à bases 1, 2 droites portant chacune une même lettre, par exemple H, mais celle de la base 2 étant sens dessus-dessous par rapport à celle de la base 1. Au milieu des faces latérales 3, 4 et des arêtes 5, 6, lesquelles peuvent être biseautées, partent des tenons 7, tandis que dans les milieux des faces latérales 8, 9 et des arêtes 10, 11 sont ménagées des mortaises 12 conjuguées des tenons 7. The element is a parallelepiped with bases 1, 2 straight lines each carrying the same letter, for example H, but that of base 2 being upside down compared to that of base 1. In the middle of the side faces 3, 4 and edges 5, 6, which can be bevelled, start from the studs 7, while in the middle of the lateral faces 8, 9 and from the edges 10, 11 are provided mortises 12 conjugated with the studs 7.

On peut donc toujours associer les éléments en un groupe (figure 2). We can therefore always associate the elements in a group (Figure 2).

Suivant une variante plus difficile du jeu, les éléments d'un même groupe sont par exemple dans un sachet, sans être préalablement assemblés. Le joueur doit reconstituer chaque groupe en en ordonnant les éléments correctement, puis placer chaque groupe sur la grille (13)(figure 3). According to a more difficult variant of the game, the elements of the same group are for example in a bag, without being previously assembled. The player must reconstruct each group by ordering the elements correctly, then place each group on the grid (13) (Figure 3).

Suivant une variante plus facile, les éléments d'un même groupe sont déjà ordonnés, par exemple sous la forme d'une liste (14) de mots correspondant à ceux de la grille (13). According to an easier variant, the elements of the same group are already ordered, for example in the form of a list (14) of words corresponding to those of the grid (13).

Suivant une dernière variante, on porte sur une étiquette du sachet ou à la suite de chaque mot de la liste un repère (15) donnant la direction suivant laquelle le mot apparaît sur la grille (13), direction qui peut être horizontale, verticale ou diagonale du bas vers le haut, du haut vers le bas, de gauche à droite ou de droite à gauche.  According to a last variant, a label (15) is given on a label of the bag or after each word in the list giving the direction in which the word appears on the grid (13), which direction may be horizontal, vertical or diagonal from bottom to top, top to bottom, left to right or right to left.
