The Grosse Book of Gogen Puzzles 1: 250 Uber- and Ultra-Gogen puzzles

Product Information

With the Uber-Gogen, some of the given letters aren't in the clue words so you can't pin them down so easily. As you go from puzzle to puzzle, first of all, the centre cell is left empty in the easiest, then another and so on until finally, you are down to just two clue letters, one of which is not in a corner so again, you only need logic to work out all of the letter positions.

If I remember correctly I made it as an image on my Google drive and it was not possible to get the lines horizontal and vertical. The solver is given a list of words that they must be able to trace through the grid by following the paths between the letters. The Gogen puzzle has behind it a deceptively simple concept yet, with so many variants, each with their own characteristics, this a very interesting puzzle to do. and even without using the remaining clue (FIR) we know the final empty spot must house the final missing letter, F.Additionally, quite often, another letter is omitted as well so when you finish with the clue words, you still have a gap.

However, easy though they might be, there is a darker side to them - two types of Gogen puzzle that takes anywhere from a bit more thought right through to down-right difficult: the Uber-Gogen with deliberately omitted letters in the clues; and, the Ultra-Gogen where there are fewer and fewer clue letters in the puzzle, increasing in difficulty until there are only two puzzle letters left.Both of these types have real words as word clues although some people, who do not play a lot of word games, might find some of them a little obscure.
