Abstract: A method of playing a category game is set forth where a predetermined time is provided for each of a maximum of five players to associate a random category with a random pre-selected secret word wherein each category and secret word is chosen from a stack of various categories and secret words. A pre-selected category is inserted on an erasable board for a maximum of five categories and thereafter a single secret word comprising no more than five letters is written with a single letter written in each space of a five spaced line providing twenty-five spaces to be filled in by the players.
