The acrostic puzzle of this invention is designed for play on computer-based devices or interactive television, with optional animation, optional sound effects, and a system of scoring based on assigning values to the letters of the alphabet. When all the clues have been successfully solved, a quotation using the same letters appears in a grid. In individual play or competition over a computer network, a player seeks to achieve the highest score by first entering letters into spaces adjacent to a column of clues and then, as the words of a quotation begin to form in the grid, by entering additional letters into the grid. As a television game show, the puzzle of the invention may be played, according to rules devised by the promoters of the game show, by several players, including one or more outside the studio, participating by means of their home computers or other appropriate devices. |
