#CHAIN REACTION ONLINE WORD GAME DOWNLOAD#
If you download one of the game templates that has VB embedded into it, you will have to select "enable content" when you are asked upon opening in order to enable to Visual Basic coding for automated score keeping. Some of them are developed integrating Visual Basic code, "triggers", "hotspots", and other items that lend to the interactive portions of the games. The PowerPoint games featured on this page are custom created by me, Kevin Culpepper. PowerPoint games are really no different IF they are developed correctly. Keep calm, puzzle on, and I’ll catch you next time.Competitive events seems to be more fun. Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s post, and that Word Chains provided you with a bit of brain-teasing fun for the day. I settled on a four-line Word Chain, which was hands down the most difficult Word Chain I’ve yet constructed, because of the severe limitations the short word count imposed.
(After all, while CANCAN would be a Word Chain in itself, it’s not the most taxing puzzle in the world, either to construct or solve.) But I set myself the challenge of creating the smallest Word Chain that still offered some challenge. With more time to build a chain back to the first entry, the puzzle’s loop is far easier to complete. Here’s a 13-entry version of Word Chain I whipped up just for the blog. Oddly enough, this puzzle actually becomes easier to construct the longer it is. I think the inherent challenge of such an interconnected word list is what I enjoy most about constructing this puzzle. Now, while I haven’t completed this one, you can probably see where it’s going, with MANTIS as the next answer down the chain.
Let’s say you can’t think of the first or second words, but LARGER immediately jumps to mind as the answer to the third.Īnd then you place the connected parts of the Word Chain above and below:Īnd suddenly, CELLAR and GERMAN spring to mind. The biggest advantage to the solver is that one answer provides valuable clues for the neighboring answers. The last three letters of one answer become the first three letters of the next answer, and so on down the line, until the final answer’s last three letters are the same as the first answer’s first three letters, completing the chain.įor instance, here’s a 9-entry Word Chain: The “chain” (or “loop”, if you prefer) aspect comes from the answers themselves.

In Word Chain, the solver is given clues to a series of six-letter words. I don’t know if there’s a more official version of this puzzle out there in the untamed wilds of the puzzle world, but I call it Word Chain (or Word Loops), and it takes letter placement and interaction to another level. (For one impressively visual example, there’s the Rows Garden puzzle Eric posted on Monday.)
Part of constructing crosswords and similar puzzles is being able to build those grids, laying out words in an intricately woven lattice of linguistic delights (and occasional words-you-only-see-in-crosswords, like NENE or ELHI.)īut some puzzles rely more heavily on letter placement and interaction. Part of being a fan of crosswords is enjoying the interaction of across and down entries as they construct an entire grid under the tip of your pencil (or pen, if you’re hardcore about it).
