It's
also
undoubtedly
true
that
word
games,
puzzles
and
competitions are hugely popular, in
newspapers, on the radio and even
on
television. One of the most popular television
games in the 1980s and
1990s
was
My
Bluff
where
two
teams
of
players
had
to
guess
which
of
three
meanings
of
an
unfamiliar
word
was
correct.
In
many
cases newspapers have a
word games section, such as a
Words
with
the
letters
of
a
single
word.
Above
all,
crossword
puzzles
are
the
most
familiar word game, with clues ranging from words
which have the
same
meaning
as
other
words,
to
the
crossword,
where
the
clue
expresses
the
word
in
a
very
indirect
way,
and
uses
a
variety
of
linguistic and cultural references.
Apparently, some people choose their
newspaper not because of the quality of
the news coverage but because
of the
crossword puzzle.
翻译：毫无疑问，报纸上、广播上、甚至电视上的文字游戏、字谜和
文字比赛都是非
常流行的。
1980
年到
1990
年，最受欢迎的电视节目
之一就是“

”
（谁是卧底？）

含多种含义的生僻词的真正意思。
很多情况下报纸上有一个文字游戏
板块，例如“

话里有话？
×
< br>)
（词中词）
竞猜，其
目的是用
一个词的字母组合出尽量多的单词。
总之
,“crosswor
d puzzles”
是最常见的游戏，其提示词从同义词到难想的“交叉词”
，应有尽有，
“交叉词”
以融合各种各样的语言
、
文化知识的间接方式表达。
显然，
有
些人选择报纸不是冲着高质量的新闻报导，
而是为了
