WORD SQUARES

 

Human beings have always been fascinated by the square. In ancient times magical properties were attributed to the square. Some words that can function as noun, verb, adjective and adverb without any change were called word squares. In our book the word square is a simple crossword puzzle where the horizontal solution is exactly the same as the vertical solution.

 

c y s t                            

y                                           

s        

t

 

All the letters that are needed to complete the solution are given in alphabetical order. The letter that is in bold can be written into the first square. Eliminate the letters as you use them.

 

The great thing about Word Squares is that you will know at once whether you solved the puzzle correctly. If the vertical solution and the horizontal solution correspond every time, the solution is correct.
