Abstract: The word-forming game is a board game comprising a coordinate board, a plurality of tiles, and a randomizing device. The coordinate board comprises a plurality of columns, a plurality of rows, and a plurality of cells. Each cell is identified by the intersection of a selected column and a selected row. Each of the plurality of tiles contains a letter. A portion of the plurality of tiles are distributed between each of the plurality of players. The balance of the tiles are positioned at previously selected cells. Each player uses a randomizing device to select a cell. If a tile is located on the selected cell, the player takes the tile. If a tile is not located on the selected cell, the player places a tile on the selected cell. The first player that completes a five letter word is declared the winner of the game.
