FUN DOG PUBLISHING’S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING AND PROFITING FROM WAGWORDS.
Wagwords is a versatile framework (1) which caters for many styles of writing for any age group (2). Whether you want an engaging story (3) with easy or hard challenges to complete, or the thrill of a truly unique crossword (4), the Wagwords framework is the best of both (5).
Developer Philip Redhead once shared Wagwords with an English class of 15 year olds; the response from students and teachers alike was very enthusiastic. Even from a couple of cool looking kids at the back of the room. At first they were acting disinterested, by the end they were clearly involved and having a laugh while solving the Wagwords.
To take advantage of Wagwords being the first of its kind, the book ‘Grizbut and The Amazonians’ has been designed to be an upmarket gift for crossworders, so is sized to fit in magazine racks. The potential for repeat business for Wagwords in this virgin market is quite large. For example; in the U.S. there are *50 million crossworders.
(1) Wagwords is a framework any writing can be integrated into, just fill in the blanks and solve the crossword
(2) as Wagwords can accommodate any story, you can write about anything, for anyone
(3) imagine a Wagwords book for your Grandmother featuring Faulty Towers
(4) as you read you fill in the blanks throughout the story, adding them to the crossword as you go
(5) whether you love a crossword, and/or just relish in the joy of a humours story, Wagwords will tickle your funny bone.
