About FoLaWo Saint Pats - Slide game
To celebrate St Paddys day - here is a little Irish puzzle.
A new unique twist for an old Puzzle.
The classic slider (boss, gem, mystic square, or 8 puzzle) or number puzzle used numbers(1 to 8) or pictures on the tiles that you need to slide around using the blank tile space to put the tiles in the correct order. This is NOT a number puzzle, but the game mechanics are the same.
FoLaWo™ Saint Pats uses the same game style, but adds a fresh new challenge to this puzzle type by using words, Not NUMBERS!. It adds an element of foreign language knowledge - in this case the Irish language.
The word answers are broken up into 9 (3x3 ) letter groups or pieces and placed on the tiles. The object of the game is to use the clues( in the opposite language) to solve the word, get English clues = solve the irish words, or the reverse Irish clues to solve English words.
Then use your logic to move the tiles to spell the word and put them in the same order as the clues ( 1st clue = 1st row [1,2,3], 2nd clue = 2nd row [4,5,6], 3rd clue = 3rd row [7,8,_]. The result is a new novel, unique, original, ( and any other words you know which describe something just a bit different from the norm) and challenging word slide puzzle.
- Note - in the classic puzzle there are 8 tiles and 1 blank space in position 9 - in FoLaWo™ style I have made the blank space a key tile ( tile is transparent), but it has letters which are in GREEN and are needed to spell the 3rd word (the last word/answer), and this is your first hint, as the key tile ends in the bottom right position, or where the blank tile would normally go in the classic game.
Hints are available if you get stuck, free to use, they only affect your score!
