Abstract

Abstract Parallel rows of openings in a front face of a block expose blank spaces or selected letters on wheels mounted within cavities in the rear face of the block. An elongated curved magnifying glass mounted over each row of openings enlarges the letters. Player A writes a word in a space between the parallel rows of cavities on the rear face of the block and slides a cover over the word. Player B chooses letters to complete the hidden word. Player A rotates appropriate wheels from the back to expose chosen correct letters of a word in proper sequence in the bottom row or to expose improper unused chosen letters in the top row. If the top row is filled first, Player A wins. If openings in the bottom row which spell out the word are filled first, Player B wins. The openings in the upper row form the head portions of representations of a human figure which is progressively completed from one row end to the other, the end representation being a complete human figure suspended above a representation of a hangman''s platform.
