We sometimes forget to pass along the classics. I posted this old word puzzle on a discord today and it got more of a reaction than I expected; I guess the kids today don't know:

a few letters in a strange layout. There's a big letter G. Inside the G are 3 letters: ST together, and then under that an M.

I think I first saw it back in the 1980s. Maybe clued with something like "caused more conflict than anything else in history"?

Games Magazine published puzzles like this called "Wacky Wordies." @Algot@mastodon.art occasionally posts them, calling them "Wicked Wonderful Wordies."
