An Anagram Type 1 Puzzle consists of a number of rows of cells having the following form:-
It is easy to see that the second word is an anagram of the first word plus the first single letter. Similarly, the third word is an anagram of the second word plus the second single letter. When a number of such lines are collected together into a puzzle, the single letters combine to form two vertical Key words. A simpler variation of this puzzle has only two words per line, plus one single letter.
The complete puzzle comes with a set of clues for the Across and Down words, so that solving the puzzle is done in exactly the same way as for a crossword puzzle.
