Picture Word Game Addition
Thursday, November 15, 2007

Mike recently requested a couple new features on The Problem Site. I haven't had a chance to do them both, but I have done one.
Mike observed that it would be awfully nice to have definitions of the words used in the Picture Word Game. Since we only have a word list, rather than an actual dictionary, this is accomplished in the same way as it's accomplished in the Hangman Game: by paying a visit to Dictionary.com
When you finish your "Picture Word Game", whether you figured out the word or not, a link titled "Definition" appears next to the word. Click this link to pop open the definition in a new window.
You'll learn a lot that way, because this game uses some very obscure words!
Thanks for the suggestion, Mike!Labels: picture word game, theproblemsite

Games, Games, More Games...

Sunday I was visiting with some of my young nephews and my niece, and one of them said to me: "Why didn't you post a notice about the new game on The Problem Site?"
My mistake. :D
So, in case you didn't notice it, you'll want to check out this game: The Picture Word Game - Find the secret word to uncover the secret picture.
I wanted to let everyone know that with three thousand Entrapment Puzzles on the site, people have been working very hard at solving them. As of today, there are only 73 Entrapments which have never been solved. Keep up the good work, and lets see if we can bring that number down to ZERO!
(And for those who were skeptical that they could all be solved, I hope you're starting to believe now!)
Finally, I wanted to let everyone know, if you are not yet a subscriber at Quote Puzzler, or your subscription is scheduled to expire before Christmas of 2007, I strongly encourage you to subscribe (or resubscribe, as the case may be) before December 1st.
Why? Because on December 1st, I will have a special treat that will be available to subscribed members only.
Am I going to tell you what it is? NOPE! I'm not! :DLabels: entrapment, picture word game, quote-puzzler, theproblemsite

Picture Word Game
Monday, November 5, 2007

In case you haven't noticed it, there's a new game at The Problem Site. The game is kind of a Reverse Hangman game- instead of a picture being revealed as you make incorrect guesses, a picture is revealed as you make correct guesses.
There are approximately 22,000 words in the game (but not nearly that many pictures!), so you won't run out of words to play for a very long time.
Here's the game:
The Picture Word Game
Enjoy!Labels: picture word game, theproblemsite
