-
- **a. How to Play Cryptic Puzzles**
- **------------------------------**
-
- Cryptic Puzzles combines hangman and cryptogram-like puzzles
- into a new family favorite.
-
- The goal of this game is to decipher a hidden phrase by
- guessing the letters and words of the phrase.
-
- Each game starts with a random phrase, with each letter of
- the phrase being represented by a blank box. Seperations
- between boxes represent spaces between words of the phrase.
-
- To play, click on a letter to make a guess at the puzzle's
- phrase. If the letter you clicked on is found in the phrase,
- it will display in every box it can be found in. But beware,
- for every incorrect letter you click a balloon bursts. And
- if you click on 6 incorrect letters before solving the
- puzzle, you lose that round.
