t’s been almost two years since the premier issue of GAMES WO RL D
O F PU Z Z L ES, and many of our readers, perhaps nostalgic for the old
L etters/L aundry/Eurek a column in GAMES, hav e called for the return of a
“ L etters to the Editor” page. After elding repeated req uests, we’re mulling
it ov er.
B ut… here’s the thing. If we bring back L etters to the Editor, we’ll need
your help. So if you enjoyed a particular puz z le or article, send us a note!
If you discov er an improv ed, more elegant, or more complete solution toa puz z le, share it with us! O f course, if you discov er an error, please let us
k now so that we can av oid similar mistak es in the future. B ut, abov e all, we
are seek ing to strik e a balance between the positiv e and the negativ e.
F or those who remember the days of winning a GAMES T-shirt for hav ing a
letter printed: U nfortunately our cache of T-shirts has run out, but if we publish
your letter you’ll be able to bask in the glory of seeing your name in print.
We’re willing to giv e it a try. If we get enough mail to reinstate the
L etters page, great— you’ll see it in an upcoming issue. Now, get busy
writing! Please email us at games@ k appapublishing.com, or send letters v ia
snail mail to GAMES WO RL D O F PU Z Z L ES, PO . B ox 184, F ort Washington,
PA 19034. IMPO RTANT: If you do not want your letter to be printed, please
state this clearly within. U nless a letter indicates otherwise, we’ll assume it’s

Some lettersmay fit in more than one of the empty squares to form familiar words;however, only one arrangement of all the letters of thealphabet will complete a word in each row.

As in the two-player version of Hangman, the object of this solitaire challenge is to guess a word before being “hanged.”To begin, choose any letter that you think might appear in word I below. Suppose you pick E. Go to the Letter Chart onthe facing page and find the number listed in row E of Column I (because you are working on word I). The number is8; you now look in box number 8 in the Position Chart (to the right of the Letter Chart) and locate the number 3. Thismeans the letter E occurs in the third position (and nowhere else) in word I. If a letter occurs more than once in a word,the Position Chart will show all its locations.
If you find from the Position Chart that a letter appears in position 0, then that letter does not appear in the word.As a penalty for an incorrect guess, you must draw part of a stick figure below the scaffold beside the blanks. On your
first incorrect guess, draw the head;on the second, the body;and on the next four, the arms and legs. Ifyou complete the figure (that is, make six incorrect guesses) before identifying the word, you are“hanged.”
If you can identify 8 of the 12 words before being hanged, either you’re psychic or you have aremarkable gift for words.

Below are four lists of related words and phrases that have been translated into simple cipher alphabets. The letter substitutionsremain constant within any one group of words (for instance, if V represents G in one word, it will represent G in all the wordsin that list), but change from one list to the next. A tip to new solvers: Start by thinking of answers that might fit one of thecategories;then see if any enciphered words in the list have the same letter pattern.The fourth list has been left untitled. Solvethe code to determine what the items have in common. A N S W E R S A G E 2

This puzzle is solved like a standard Mixed Doubles in that each answer word has two clues leading to it, using differentmeanings of the word. The clues are separated into Across and Down, but are otherwise ordered randomly.
When you find two Across or two Down clues that seem to have the same answer, add up their clue numbers to determinethe place in the grid at which the answer should be entered. For example, if the clue for 1-Across were “Metallic element”and the clue for 17-Across read “Starring role,” the answer would be LEAD, which would go in 18-Across (1 + 17). Tags suchas “Hyph.” and “2 wds.” have been omitted.
In this puzzle, there is an added twist: The Across and Down clue lists each contain one extra clue. If you rearrange the lettersin the shaded spaces of the grid, you will discover a word that is suggested by both of the extra clues. A N S W E R A G E 3

The last time I saw Aunt Hilde-
garde, she was craz y about shoes
but not sock s, stripes but not polk adots, pottery but not k nitting.
When I ask ed her why, she replied
that she lik ed words that dropped
their f irst and last letters to mak e
new words (s-hoe-s, s-tripe-s, etc.).
That’s why she’d traded in her pet
parrot for a hyena (h-yen-a). Well,
she’s been hanging around with
U ncle Mort a lot this month, and
she has a whole new set of lik es
and dislik es. Can you tell what
principle is guiding her new tastes?
This month Aunt Hildegarde lik es
AB B O TT but not CO STEL L O . She
lik es EGGS, but not B ACO N. She
lik es to K NO W, but not to LEARN.
She prefers CO PS to RO B B ERS.
She has purchased a pet CHIMP,
and has giv en away her HY ENA.
She li k es EEL S, can’t abide
SNAK ES. She lik es a B EL T, not
SU SPENDERS. F IL MS please her,
but not the THEATER. She’d
rather be EMPTY than F U L L .She’d rather be F IRST than L AST.
She enjoys playing the word
game GHO ST, but she does not
enjoy HANGMAN.

To solve each of the Rowed Signs below, you’ll need to fill two consecutive words into each row of the grid. These “RowWords,” with a total of 10 letters for each pair, are indicated in order by the clues for each row. Then look for an “InnerWord” straddling the two Row Words. For example, a row might hold the words DRAGON and YEAR, with the InnerWord AGONY reading between them. The Inner Words are clued in random order for each puzzle; it’s up to you todetermine which clue goes with which row. As you solve each row, cross out the letters of the Inner Word. When youhave completed the puzzle, the remaining letters (reading from left to right by rows) will spell out a sign that might be
found at the location specified by the puzzle’s heading. ANSWE RS, PAGE 72
