Abstract: A word-guessing game is described. This game comprises stacks of cards, each of these cards having predetermined words thereon, and each of these stacks having different point values according to the difficulty of the words therein. Players work from pads containing sheets having the letters of the alphabet and scoring areas thereon. After deciding on the point value desired, cards are selected from the appropriate stack and each player attempts to determine the word by eliminating letters to achieve a scrambled version of the word. The scrambed version must then be unscrambled by the appropriate player in order to achieve their point value.
