In クロ密 (Kuromitsu), the players are creating a hybrid word-search/crossword puzzle grid, and trying to score the most points. Each player is given a different colored pencil, and a set of categories is laid out in a circle. After some initial seeding, a player rolls a die, which determines the category of word to be added. Then, in real-time, the first player to shout out a word in the category determines the word that will be written by each player on their board. Afterwards, the papers are passed to the left, and the process is repeated. Once a player is unable to write a word on their sheet the game ends. Each player scores points based upon how many times their colored pencil has written letters on each sheet.
