2. Create the word grid slide and Lucky Number slide
2.1. Design the word grid slide

Step 2: Click on the design template (1) for the shape. Next, right-click on the shape (2) => Edit Text (3).
Afterward, you fill in the sequential numbers starting from 1 to create the word grid cells.
Step 3: To save time, right-click on the word grid cell (1) => Copy (2).
Then, you rename and arrange them into the desired word grid.
Step 4: After creating the word grid slide, you need to link this slide to the Start button on the first slide. Go back to the first slide and right-click on the Start (1) button => Hyperlink (2).
Next, you choose Place in this document (3) => select the word grid slide (4) => OK (5).
2.2. Creating a fading effect for the word grid cells
After each selection of a word grid cell, that cell must disappear. To create this effect, follow these steps:

Repeat the same process with the remaining cells.
Step 2: Program the animation to start when clicking on the number cell by clicking on the cell (1) and then go to the Animation Pane (2) menu.
Step 3: Right-click on Star 5 Point (1) => Timing (2).

Next, generate the text Lucky Number as illustrated below.

Then, choose Place in this document (3) => select slide Lucky Number (4) => OK (5).
3. Design question slides
3.1. Create a basic question slide
Step 1: Generate a new slide and enter the question content as shown in the sample below.
Step 2: Create answers by clicking on Insert (1) => Shapes (2) => choose the curved shapes on both sides (3).
Step 3: Click and drag the left mouse button to create the shape. Then, right-click on Shape (1) => Edit text (2).
Afterward, insert choices and answers as shown in the sample below. Repeat the process to add more answer options.
3.2. Apply effects to the answers
In this tutorial, I'll guide you on creating answer effects similar to the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” program. When choosing the correct answer, the answer box will turn green, while the wrong one will turn red.
Step 1: Click on the answer box (1) => select the Animations (2) tab => Add Animation (3) => Fill Color (4).
Step 2: Go to the Effect Options (1) menu => choose a color for the text box (2).
In this example, the current answer is incorrect, so I'll choose the color red.
Step 3: For the correct answer, you perform the same steps like clicking on the answer (1) => select Effect Options (2) => choose the green color (3) for the correct answer. Repeat the process for the remaining options.
Step 4: Let's create an effect when clicking on the answer. Click on the first answer (1) => Trigger (2) => On Click of (3) => Rectangle: Rounded Corners 4 (4).
Note: If you choose a different shape for each answer, the shape name will be different, not Rectangle: Rounded Corners anymore.
Step 5: Repeat the same process for the remaining answers.
Step 6: You need to create a Back button to return to the word puzzle section. Go to the Insert (1) menu => Shapes (2) => choose the back arrow shape (3).
Step 7: Create a shape, then right-click on that shape (1) => Hyperlink (2).
Next, choose Place in this document (3) => select the word puzzle slide (4) => OK (5).
Step 7: You need to link the word puzzle cells to the question slide. Reopen the word puzzle slide and right-click on the question cell (1) => Hyperlink (2).
Next, choose Place in this document (3) => select the question slide (4) => OK (5).
Step 8: Continue designing additional question slides. To expedite the process, you can utilize the template form of the previous question slide and replace different questions, answers, or even modify the answer effects. Right-click on the question slide (1) => Duplicate Slide (2) to create a new slide with similar content.
