Abstract: A word-spelling game has a first set of a fixed number of balls as playing pieces, each of the balls in the first set bearing either one, two, three, four, six, eight, or twelve letters of the English alphabet, every ball in the set bearing the same number of letters. In the first set, each of the letters of the English alphabet, except two letters that each may be changed to another letter by rotation of a ball, appears once on a ball in the first set, and a player places balls side by side on a support surface, with letters on the balls all facing in a common direction, to spell words in a game.
