## Description
_Acrostix_ is a single-player, freeware, word puzzle game that is a bit like
the word puzzle bit in ‘Wheel of Fortune’.
The player is presented with a short phrase, statement or question which is a
clue to a phrase, saying, person’s name, place, thing etc. The top half of the
game area has the words in the answer with the letters blacked out and the
lower half has a set of letters for the player to choose from. The objective
is to transfer letters from the lower part of the screen to the upper part
completing the answer correctly.
This game is freeware and comes with just twenty puzzles, however it includes
puzzle creation tools and players uploaded their creations to The Knowledge
Transfer BBS, which in 2014 no longer exists, and downloaded those from other
players.
The game can be played with the mouse or the keyboard. It has a cheat mode
which places one correct letter at a time, and an auto solve mode which will
slowly complete the puzzle automatically unless the player cancels it.
