Full description
hiddenquote is a kind of word puzzle where you have to read word definitions (the clues), and put the answers into a grid, using the provided syllables. When the grid is complete, you should be able to read a quote in the highlighted cells. This word puzzle is known in Argentina as Claringrilla, because they are published by a national newspaper named "ClarÃn". This file contains all the hidden quote puzzle rendering, major mode and commands. It also defines a source to retrieve puzzles of the hidden quote type, created by myself. Usage: M-x hiddenquote Select the source you want to retrieve the puzzle from. With a prefix argument, the command will prompt for a specific ID number. Read the clues in the Definitions buffer, and complete each word with one character per cell to complete the puzzle. For each word, mark the syllables it contains as used. Move around the buffer with the usual movement commands. Edit each character cell with the usual editing commands. To mark a syllable as used, click it with the mouse or move point to it and hit RET. When the puzzle is complete, you should be able to read the hidden quote in the highlighted cells. M-x customize-group RET hiddenquote to see other customization options. To see what faces you can customize, type M-x customize-group RET hiddenquote-faces M-x describe-keymap RET hiddenquote-mode-map or M-x describe-keymap RET hiddenquote-character-map to see the commands available. To change the puzzle sources, customize `hiddenquote-sources'.
