INTRODUCING A NEW KIND OF PUZZLE...
THE
GLIDOGRAM
We have a hunch that these pages
may start a new national craze.
And the story of how Glidograms got
here in the first place is a complete
rebuttal to any tale you ever heard of
hard-hearted literary circles.
It began a few weeks ago in the office
of John Kieran, journalist, nature
lover, "Information Please" expert.
His secretary appeared: “Mr. Kieran,
I know you have about two minutes of
free time. But outside in the office is a
very sweet man who says he has to see
you. Once you see him, he’ll only take
a minute and you won’t be sorry.”
So Richard Guldenstein, with his
rather owlish, sad look, got a minute
with Kieran. Forty-five minutes later,
Kieran called Van Cartmell, one of the
editors of Doubleday and Co. The
conversation went something like this:
“Van, there’s a man in my office who
was supposed to be here a minute but
now it’s an hour. I think you should
see him. He’s invented a puzzle called
the Glidogram and I think he has some
thing. Have you got five minutes?"
Mr. Cartmell spent an hour. He
worked one puzzle but got stuck on the
second. Then he called This Week.
His conversation was almost word-for
word like Kieran’s. That’s how Mr.
Guldenstein came to us. We got stuck
on the third puzzle. We would like to
hear how you do.
Mr. Guldenstein invented Glido
grams 20 years ago when he was a suc
cessful Munich businessman. He worked
on them as a hobby and German maga
zines gobbled them up for the three
years he had time for them. Then, in
1936, he arrived in this country, started
in business and forgot his puzzles
until one night last January when he
was sitting around the Manhattan
Chess Club. That was the night he
made a Glidogram in .English. And he
kept making them steadily for four
months. He says, "It was like a dis
ease, I couldn’t even read the news
papers. One puzzle takes me anywhere
from two days to two or three weeks.”
As you can see, the principle is sim
ple. You’re given the same two letters
on a diagonal. Following the defini
tions, fill in with the correct words.
All the letters to be used are listed
If you check off the letters as you fill in
the words, those left over are what you
have to unscramble to fill in the un
solved blanks. Look at the sample -
then go to work and have fun:
THE LETTERS A-A-A-A-A-C-D-D
D-E-E-G-I-I-L-L-N-N-N-N-O-O-OO
R-R-S-S-T-U have to be inserted so
that the lines across will show:
1 State
2 Pertaining to love
I Renovate
4 Gem
5 Biblical character
I Italian name (male)
