^C^1ANNA'S GRAM #1
^Cby
^CJohn Besnard and George Leritte (IBM PC implementation)


  For the past few months, we've featured John Besnard word games in Softdisk,
BIG BLUE DISK's sister publication for the Apple II.  They proved to be so
popular that we didn't want you IBM aficionados to feel left out.  We're proud
to present ANNA'S GRAM #1, the first in a series of word games from the man we
call Johnny Bez.

Playing
-------
  The object of ANNA'S GRAM is to unscramble an anagram, a word made up of
letters taken from another word or phrase.  Before you work on the anagram
itself, however, you must unscramble the letters of several other related
words.  Certain letters, marked by arrows, are taken from each of these words
to form the anagram puzzle.

  A dreadful pun provides an important clue to the puzzle.

  How do you unscramble the words? Unlike most word scramble games, you do not
input the correct sequence of letters.  Instead, letters used in ANNA'S GRAM
resemble Scrabble tiles. The player rearranges the tiles on the screen by using
the arrow keys.  (Half the fun is figuring out how to manipulate the tiles.)

  If you find yourself stumped by one word, proceed to the next word by
pressing the PgDn key.  Pressing the PgUp key returns you to the previous word.
The Home key brings you to the first puzzle, and the End key takes you to the
final scramble.

  Be sure to look for more ANNA'S GRAM puzzles in the future.
