Crossword or acrostic
A word puzzle is a game or problem that challenges players to form, find, or decipher words according to specific rules or constraints.
Common types include crosswords, where answers fill intersecting grids; word searches, where hidden words must be located; anagrams, where letters are rearranged; and games like Wordle, where players guess a target word.
