    Abstract: An electronic game consisting of a playing grid and individual letter tiles on racks, which allows players to create words for placement on the playing grid without having all of the letters of their chosen word on their tile rack. Players only need to imagine a word, for which they must hold the first and last letter tiles on their tile racks. When their chosen word is typed on a keyboard and transferred to the playing grid that word will in most cases comprise full tone and half tone tiles. Full tone tiles are those essential first and last letters of the word tiles that were on the players tile rack and have transferred to the playing grid. Half tone tiles are those tiles which complete the spelling of the chosen word and are automatically provided by the games management system, and which were not on the players tile rack.
