Scrammble Puzzle © (TM) Examples By Dr. Ifay Chang (Dr. Headutainer) Life is a scramble. We need a clear head to put things in order to get ahead in this world. Life can be stressful if we don't calm ourselves with some entertainment. The key word is Headutainment - healthy educational entertainment. The Scrammble Puzzles below are created to stimulate players' brains, make players learn words and provide players great fun. A player can play the puzzles alone or with colleagues or with family members. A Player will also have fun in using the Scrammble Game cards to experiment and produce interesting Scrammble Puzzles for others to play.

Scrammble Puzzle by Dr. Headutainer There are many ways to construct and play  the Scrammble Puzzle.  Each puzzle will have some built-in clues, the more clues the easier to solve the puzzle. You can decide how much clues to be given in a puzzle. The rule of the Scrammble Puzzle is very simple: You are supposed to find the 'root' words of the Puzzle  word. The 'root' words are by definition shorter words than the Puzzle Word and they may be built from yet shorter root words and so on. So the Scrammble Puzzle may have a hierarchical structure containing root words and some clues leading to the solution of deciphering the final Puzzle Word. You may begin to fill in the short root words in the puzzle space below. The root words must contain all the letters of the shorter 'root' word above it. The following puzzle is constructed from a letter sequence of 13 letters: INTETNREEMNAT. This sequence can form a 13-letter word, ENTERTAINMENT which may be easily decomposed as three 'root' words, TIN, ENTER, and MEANT. Hence, a hierarchical structure of three 'root' words can be constructed as shown below: (2,3), (3,4,5) and (2,3,4,5) spaces. There are two ways to make this structure a Scrammble Word Puzzle. In Method (1),  the Puzzle Word is revealed and the player is challenged to find the three 'root' words by filling all the 'root' words in the Structure. The answer is (IN, TIN), (NET, RENT, ENTER), and (ME, MEN, MEAN, MEANT) as shown. In Method (2), the Puzzle Word is not revealed. Only a few hints are given, for example, (IN), (RENT), and (MEN) are filled in corresponding spaces. The player is challenged to solve the Puzzle Word. Please note that there are many ways to construct an interesting word puzzle which will make people think and work with words. More examples are given below to stimulate players own creativity in making and solving Scrammble Puzzles.
