Abstract

465,979. Educational game appliances. MARCHANT, J. T. Feb. 29, 1936, No. 6190. [Classes 132 (ii) and 132 (iii)] Apparatus for playing a word-building game or for solving cross-word puzzles, comprises a board with four bases 1, 2, 3, 4, preferably at the corners, the whole board being divided into divisions 5 each provided with a hole 6 for the reception of a peg 8, Fig. 3, serving to position a piece 9 which may bear a letter or be blank. The shank 7 of each peg is tapered to a diameter larger than the hole in a piece 9 whereby the pegs may be wedged into the pieces to lift them from the board. Boundary lines 10 may be provided on the board delineating a square, diamond or any other shape to be used for smaller puzzles. In playing a game, each player whose pieces are coloured corresponding to the base 1, 2, 3 or 4, builds a cross-word completely covering his base and then moves his pieces according to given rules diagonally across the board into the opposite base to form the same or another crossword.
