logogriph

Some issues featured word games, such as the logogriph published February 9, 1828.

"I tell you the logogriph, the new pterospondee, roasts on his burning shoulder!"

Will Shortz explains: "in a logogriph, clues were given for a keyword, from which various letters were selected to make new, shorter words that answered other clues."

Following this, subjects are asked to focus on the screen while a logogriph is shown, and then they are given time with a blank screen to get the answer, once they do they are required to press a key.
