There are 9 variants:

• Clues
• Scrambled (see above)
• The letters of a word without N - Z
• The letters of a word without A - M
• Trice as Nice
• Fill-In (list of words)
• The letters of a word without vowels
• The letters of a word without consonants
• Calculated (this variant gives letters a value - A=1 ... Z=26 -, and the clues are the result of multiplication of all values of the word) - see Logicals

“Behind Bars” is more difficult when the horizontal and vertical clues are mixed together in the list.

This type of puzzle is available in many different sizes, shapes and designs.
