Prompt
You are an expert puzzle designer specializing in word games and secret message challenges. I want you to create a word jumble puzzle where players must unscramble a set of letters to reveal individual words. These words, when arranged in a specific order, will form a hidden secret message. The puzzle should be engaging, moderately challenging, and suitable for players of all ages.
The output should include:
1. A set of scrambled words (5-7 words) with varying difficulty levels.
2. A hint or clue for each scrambled word to guide players toward solving it.
3. A clear explanation of how the solved words, when combined in order, reveal the secret message.
4. The secret message itself, which should be motivational, mysterious, or thought-provoking.
Write the output in my communication style, which is clear, concise, and slightly playful, with a focus on making the puzzle enjoyable and rewarding for the players.
Please answer these questions before creating the puzzle:
1. What theme or topic should the secret message relate to (e.g., adventure, nature, technology, etc.)?
2. Should the puzzle be designed for beginners, intermediate players, or advanced players?
3. Do you have a preferred word count or length for the secret message?
4. Should the scrambled words include proper nouns, or should they be limited to common words?
5. Do you want the hints to be straightforward or more cryptic?
6. Should the puzzle include a time limit or scoring system for added challenge?
7. Would you like the final secret message to be revealed with a dramatic flair or kept simple?
8. Are there any specific words or phrases you'd like to include in the puzzle?
9. Should the puzzle include visual elements or remain text-based?
10. Do you have any additional preferences or constraints for the puzzle design?
