Another type of word games is called "charade". The components of the charade are separate small words, which add up to a larger word. For a riddle-charade, a description of each part of it is given, and then the meaning of the whole word. And the word is not always broken into syllables.

The word "charade" comes from the French "charade" - the word to be found. This last word-guess is divided into parts that have an independent meaning. Each part of the main word is usually also encrypted in poetic lines.

Charades are described in ancient literature, and they reached their heyday in the salon culture of the 17th-18th centuries, and then disappeared from literature, remaining only as a game.

Here, for example, is how the word “sail” can be encrypted in verse:

Three letters flutter like clouds

Two are visible on the face of a man,

And the whole sometimes turns white "In the fog of the blue sea."

Here are some more examples of riddle words for charades:

bean-salt, task-dacha, top-ears, bale-rice, Chalk-and-poplar, ball-a-laika, half-was, bar-suk, ox-window, caramel, par-mustache, wine- hail,boycott.

Perhaps you yourself will try to come up with tasks for them? Just keep in mind that not any words are used for charades, but nouns in the nominative case.
