Slide the tiles to unscramble the word square—a square of letters that forms valid words both across and down.<br /> <br /> My theory is that because this puzzle exercises two opposing skills, it will be challenging for anyone.<br /> <br /> If you have a good vocabulary you may find it easy to discover the words, but you'll probably find it difficult to move the tiles into place.<br /> <br /> If you're good at spatial reasoning you may find it easy to move the tiles into place, but you'll probably find it difficult to discover the words.<br /> <br /> It's suprisingly difficult to solve even the simplest 3x3 word square, and you'll be blown away by the extreme difficulty of a 5x5 word square.<br /> <br /> Maybe this is why the ancient Greeks believed that the person who could solve a 10x10 word square would become immortal.<br /> <br /> -David
