noun

直立词，垂直词

A word clued by the successive initial, middle, or final letters of the cross-lights in a double acrostic or triple acrostic.

Examples :

"In solving the double acrostic puzzle, we first identified the "overalls" using the beginning and ending letters of each line, and then the remaining letters of the cross-lights spelled out the "uprights," revealing the author's name. "

在解双重藏头露尾谜题时，我们先利用每行诗句的首尾字母找到了“总括句”，然后交叉句中剩余的字母拼出了“直立词”，从而揭示了作者的名字。
