Word Search With A Twist
A new word game at The Problem Site! I decided it was time to add a new word game, and I've been thinking about what I wanted to add (don't worry, Trent...I haven't forgotten your suggestions; I just haven't gotten to them yet!). I wanted to add a boggle-style game, but then I decided on a word search style puzzle.Only, of course, it's a word search with a twist. The idea in this game is: you are given one word. This is your clue. The word search grid contains four words, and each of the four words is in some way related to your word.
For example, if the clue is "hungry", the words might be "food", "starved", "supper" and "eating". But beware; they can be tricky! For example, if the clue word is "stamp", one word might be "postage" (as in a postal stamp), while another might be "crush" (from the verb "stamp", meaning "to step on").
This puzzle is actually harder than you might think, so I added in "clue" letters; there are four letters in the grid highlighted yellow, and each of those four letters is in one of the four words.
And, as an added bonus, you can actually submit your own clues and words to be published on the site!

If you give it a try in the next day or two, please let me know how it works for you!

Doug Replied: at the moment there's only 25 or so (so if you're really really good at it, you'll run out of puzzles really really fast).
Feel free to add more; there's a feature on the page to "Create a Puzzle". It's super easy to do, and I'm hoping that eventually I'll have a oodles of them.
