    Abstract: A method of playing a combination crossword and anagram game is disclosed. By manipulating movable tabular letter tiles or their digital, electronic or other equivalents, players take turns building a single free-form grid of intersecting words, crossword style, on any suitable surface. Each letter in each new word is worth one point, so game play favors long words. There is no game board, so the grid can grow in any direction, without constraint. Words are not locked in place, so they can be relocated at will to a different part of the grid in order to make room for the placement of new words. Furthermore, any individual word in the grid can be changed into another word by the addition and/or subtraction of letters, or even detached from the grid so that its letters can be used to create a new word. The game encourages and rewards anagrams.
