The excellent little work mentioned in para. 63, entitled "Philosophy
and Mirth united by Pen and Pencil," has this novelty, that many of
the Enigmas are accompanied by enigmatical pictures, so that the eye
is puzzled as well as the ear.

70. Square Words.

A comparatively modern sort of riddle, in which the letters of each
word selected reads both across and down. With four letters the
making of the riddle is easy, but with five or six the difficulty
increases. We give an example of each.

i. Inside, a thought, a liquid gem, a timid creature.

ii. To run out, odour, to boil, to loosen, unseen essence.

iii. Compensations, a court favourite, to assist, to bite slightly,
Spanish money, sarcasms.

i. ii.
P I T H I S S U E
I D E A S C E N T
T E A R S E E T H
H A R E U N T I E
E T H E R

iii.
A M E N D S
M I N I O N
E N A B L E
N I B B I E
D O L L A R
S N E E R S

With seven or eight letters the riddle becomes exceedingly difficult,
especially if the selected words are of like character and syllables.

English players.

ii. Any mistake in placing the board or the men may be rectified
before the fourth move is completed, but not after.

iii. The players draw lots for the first move, and take the move
alternately.

[When odds are given, the player giving them moves first. White
generally moves first; therefore, if black win the move, the board
is turned. It is usual to play with the white and black men
alternately.]

iv. The piece touched must be moved. When the fingers of the player
have once left the man, it cannot be again removed from the square
it occupies.

[Except the move be illegal, when the opponent can insist on the
piece being moved in the proper manner, or for the opposing King to
be moved.]

v. In touching a piece simply to adjust it, the player must notify
to his
