In the book The Westing Game a group
of people are brought together to participate in a game that will reveal the true heir
of Mr. Westing's estate. Each person is given different clues that are supposed to help
him or her figure out who had murdered he mysterious Mr.
Westing.
In chapter 8 the participants find themselves
trapped in an apartment building because of a snow blizzard that had left fifteen-foot
snow drifts. People have partnered in order to expedite the process of solving
clues.
Turtle sells handmade candles after the electricity
goes out leaving the people in the dark.
There are several
sets of clues in Chapter 8 and a second part can only be established by dividing the
pages of the chapter in half. However, one set of clues read as
follows:
"GOOD
HOOD FROM SPACIOUS GRACE
KING QUEEN PURPLE WAVES
ON(NO)
GRAINS MOUNTAIN EMPTY"
(60)
Yet, the most important
clue is written in Turtle's newspaper and reads that Mr. Westing was an abbot
chess player.
The object of the
Westing game was to win.
