"Why is this boy crying?"

Translation: Dlaczego ten chłopiec płacze?

[Annaphoric]

Can it also be "Dlaczego płacze ten chłopiec?"

[Jellei]

Maybe in a song, or poetry. It doesn't seem like a natural word order. You normally ask about the 'crying' part, and your question emphasises 'this boy'.

[Xamik]

Add "czemu". Only "dlaczego" is accepted.

[Jellei]

That's surprising. Added now, of course.

I liked how the tiles showed some possible reasons/feelings.

"Because he is worried" or "because he is lonely".

[Jellei]

It's only by chance, as they're rather random, but it's interesting that they made so much sense.

[AdelaideDu8]

Yes, if a tile showed because he is happy that would also make sense.

I wondered how randomised the tiles actually were in this context.

They would show the words and "around the words" as it were.
