提词卡 is a meta-matching card puzzle from CCBC 13. It contains 66 numbered cards as well as 6 additional cards.
Solve Path[edit | edit source]
This is a meta-matching puzzle where transformations are applied for each card in a group, which corresponds to a different Chinese character. As an aid in solving, the numbers indicate the number of strokes needed to write each character. Extracting the clue phrase is done by taking the indicated number stroke, and solving the clue phrase often involves reapplying the transformation.
- The first group rearranges the parts of a Chinese compound word. The extracted clue phrase is "田与川", which solves to "用".
- The second group applies the Chinese character in a kaleidoscope-like fashion. The extracted clue phrase is "卡后", which solves to "英" as the background applies that character in a kaleidoscope-like fashion, just like the groups.
- The third group is the shapes of the shaded enclosed area of each Chinese character. The extracted clue phrase is "下三角", which solves to "文" as shading the inside results in a triangle pointing down.
- The fourth group converts each part to a number from 1 to 7. The extracted clue phrase is "1 横1 4", which solves to "描" after reapplying the translations (including taking the part corresponding to 1 horizontally).
- The fifth group removes the characters 金, 木, 水, 火, 土, 日, 月. The extracted clue phrase is "辶和丶", which solves to "述".
- The sixth group removes any repeating "part" of a Chinese compound word. The extracted clue phrase is "一和十", which solves to "三十".
Altogether, the overall final clue phrase is "用英文描述三十＃". As "三十＃" is "＃十三" in reverse, the instruction is saying to describe Card 13 upside down as a rebus.
