Introduction
Colorful Flower with a Face Crossword is a table top game for 2-4 players, ages 10 and up. The game play is similar to Scrabble, but with a crossword puzzle theme. The objective of the game is to score the most points by creating words using the colorful flower tiles.
To set up the game, each player takes a colored tile tray and black tile stand. The black tile stand is for holding your unscrambled tiles during the game. Next, mix up the flower tiles facedown and place them in the middle of the playing area within easy reach of all players.
## Turn over any two tiles to start the game. The first player to create a word using one of these tiles gets to keep that tile and score points for it according to the point value on the tile. On future turns, players take turns drawing one tile from the draw pile and placing it on their personal crossword grid. Placed tiles must touch at least one other placed tile, either horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally). When all of your personal tiles have been placed on your grid, or when you think you have placed your final word, call out “Last Tile!” signifying that you are finished play for that round. Players then reveal their words and calculate their scores for that round.
Themed Crosswords
A themed crossword is a great way to add some fun and excitement to your next crossword puzzle. This type of crossword typically has a theme that ties all of the clues and answers together. For example, a “Colorful Flower with a Face” crossword might have clues and answers related to flowers, colors, and faces.
What are they?
Crosswords are puzzles in which players attempt to fill in a grid of squares with clues in order to solve a word or phrase. Themed crosswords are particularly popular, with subjects ranging from popular culture to food and drink.
Most crosswords follow a standard format: they are square or rectangular, with a series of clues listed down the side and across the top. Clues typically consist of a word or phrase, followed by a number; this number corresponds to the number of letters in the word or phrase that needs to be filled in.
Some themed crosswords can be quite difficult, especially if you are not familiar with the subject matter. However, they can also be great fun, and often provide an interesting challenge.
How to make one
Making a themed crossword is a great way to add some extra fun and excitement to your next crosswords puzzle. To make one, simply choose a theme for your puzzle and then create clues and answers around that theme.
For example, if you choose the theme of “colors,” you could create clues and answers like these:
-A color that’s also a fruit: Orange
-A color that’s also a type of flower: Rose
-A color that’s also a season: Spring
You can make your crossword as easy or as difficult as you like, depending on the age and abilities of the puzzlers. Just be sure to choose a theme that everyone will enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
Crosswords are often seen as a challenging and frustrating puzzle.I’m here to tell you that they don’t have to be! With a few tips and tricks, you can make solving crosswords a breeze. In this article, I’ll share with you my secrets to solving crosswords quickly and easily.
Clue Types
In each puzzle, there are black squares which divide the white squares into blocks. Each of these blocks typically has a clue associated with it. The vast majority of clues in a crossword are what we call “straight clues”. These are clues which when solved, will fit into the grid without any wordplay. An example of a straight clue is “Small island chain (5)”. The answer to this clue, when entered into the grid, would be M-A-U-I-S.
There are also a few other types of clue which you might encounter:
Anagrams – These are clues where the answer is an anagram of the clue. For example, the clue “I am in trouble” could have the answer A-I-M-I-N-G (i.e. the word AIMING rearranged).
Homophones – These are clues where the answer is a homophone of the clue (i.e. a word which sounds the same as another word but has a different spelling). For example, the clue “Narrow road” could have the answer L-A-NE (i.e. the words LANE and LAIN sound alike).
Sublime – This is a less common type of clue where the answer is hidden in plain sight within the clue itself (usually using different lettering or punctuation). For example, the clue “Way out West?” could have the answer WESTWARD (i.e. WESTWARD ho!).
Constructing the Grid
The first step is to construct the grid. To do this, you will need a few tools:
-A pencil and paper
-A straightedge (ruler or other straight edge)
-A sharp knife or X-ACTO blade
Begin by drawing a line down the center of your paper. This will be the center of your grid. Then, use your straightedge to draw lines perpendicular to the center line at 1 inch intervals. You should now have a series of lines that form a grid.
Next, use your knife or X-ACTO blade to score (or cut) along all of the lines that you have drawn. Be sure to apply even pressure so that all of the lines are cut with a clean, straight edge. Scoring the lines will make it easier to fold them later on.
Once all of the lines have been scored, gently fold along all of the lines in one direction, being careful not to tear the paper. When you are finished folding, you should have a grid that is divided into squares.
Filling in the Blanks
Here are some tips and tricks to help you complete the Colorful Flower with a Face Crossword:
-Read the clue carefully. Sometimes the clue will tell you how many letters are in the word, or it may give you a clue about the word itself.
-Look for patterns in the crossword. Some letters may appear more often than others, and this can give you a hint about what words might fit.
-If you’re stuck, try looking up the definition of the word in a dictionary. This can help you piece together the meaning of the clue and figure out what word you’re looking for.
Good luck!
