Clear eyes

A cloudless day: it's a riddle when the sky is clear and the sky is cloudless.

Water is not muddy: green plus three points of water is clear, clear and natural water is not muddy, which is the mystery.

It is boasted by a willing heart: green plus vertical heart is love, and a willing heart boasts nature, which fits the mystery.

See clearly with your eyes: green and the eyes next to your eyes can naturally see things clearly, just like a mystery.

The riddle is the limited scope of the answer and the "bridge" between the riddle and the answer. It acts a bit like a road sign, indicating the direction of speculation.

For example, "guessing words" means that the answer can only be one word, not something else, not one more word. Even if you can guess something else, you can still guess right.

The riddle is attached to the riddle, such as "type a word", which means "guess", and "type a word" means "guess"

Generally, there is one answer, and some are two or several. For example: full (type 2). There are two answers to the riddle. If you guess by knowing, the answers are "promoting" and "wasting". Full means that people are enough, and "people" and "feet" synthesize "liters"; It can also mean that there are already many people, and the combination of "people" and "many" is "luxury".

When marking a riddle, we should pay special attention to its scope. If the target range is too large, it is difficult to guess; The range of the target is too small, so it is easy to be guessed and shot.

Guessing skills

The mystery of riddles also comes from its complex and mysterious technical skills. Small riddles have formed complex puzzles in the process of spreading for thousands of years. Puzzle is a system of forms, skills, techniques, methods and means that constitute puzzles and solve puzzles, and it is also a theoretical summary and summary of puzzles and guessing.

Since the Song Dynasty, most of the early puzzles have been solved by elegant four-character names, which are annotations or hints to puzzle solving techniques and are convenient for solving puzzles. For example, Wuyang, astrology, the water of the dragon, the morning sun with two phoenix, flowing clouds, falling flowers, flying kites, popular grass withering, bright moon begonia, gathering clouds to see the sun, cold valleys rising from the ground, Meiying crossing the river, sealing the smoke and setting the haze, Jiangying, standing out from the crowd, crossing the sea on the moon, sweeping the steps with bamboo shadows and so on.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the puzzle was perfected, and a puzzle system with three characters until two characters appeared. For example, the famous "Eighteen Sides of Guangling" includes: knowing, homophonic, elegant, vivid, stele yin, Xu Fei, roller blind, shrimp beard, birthday girl, foundation, swallow tail, double hook, fishing, sinking sand, brocade screen, broken brocade, palindrome and so on.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, hundreds of puzzles had even been reached. This is a little crazy. Therefore, people of insight sneered: "The use of riddles is ultimately too artificial, extremely clever, and lost its nature." There are different opinions about the function, advantages and disadvantages of crossword puzzles. However, I think this is, after all, an understanding of the law of making puzzles and guessing puzzles. Theoretically speaking, it is abstract and cognitive. If we take puzzles and riddles as a whole, the theoretical value of puzzles is worth further discussion.
