The word hunter game typically consists of scrambled letters in a grid in which a player seeks for hidden meaningful words. Hidden words are placed vertically, horizontally or diagonally. They may overlap but cannot be in a zigzag form or wrap around. Your task is to create a word hunter puzzle and let the player play the game
Example:
| This is a 66 puzzle. There are 4 words hidden in this puzzle. Words and their positions are: hello [d,0] & [d,4] world [b,0] & [e,4] great [a,0] & [a,4] random [e,5] & [a,5]Note that: Row Numbers are denoted with letters a to z. |
