Word Square 4 is a 5x5 grid into which the letters in the word GAME have been
written so that each letter occurs once and only once in each row and column of
the square. The letters may or may not be scrambled in a row or column, and a
space appears somewhere in each row and column to fill the grid. An example of
a Word Square with the word HELP is
| | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| 1 | H | | L | P | E |
| 2 | P | H | E | | L |
| 3 | L | E | P | H | |
| 4 | | L | H | E | P |
| 5 | E | P | | L | H |
Given the clues about letter and space locations that follow, you should be able
to reconstruct Word Square 4. (Note: letter locations are given without
regard to the spaces; for example, the 3rd letter in column 1 would mean the
letter in either the 3rd or 4th row, depending on where the space is.)
- M is the last letter down column 1.
- A is the 3rd letter down column 4 of Word Square 4.
- E is the 1st letter in row 4.
- In row 1, M is followed by E in consecutive cells of the square.
- The M in column 5 of the square isn't in row 4.
- The E in row 2 isn't next to the space in that row.
- The 4th letter in row 2 is A.
- G is the 1sr letter down both columns 1 and 3.
- The A in row 4 isn't next to the space in that row.
- The G in row 5 isn't in column 2 of the row.
