Abstract: A word game wherein the letters of the alphabet are distributed among a number of bodies each of which carries only one letter of the alphabet with some of the bodies being duplicates so that certain letters appear on more than one body. These bodies are coded so as to form different types of bodies, and one group of letters of the alphabet are situated only on bodies of one type, while another group of letters of the alphabet are situated only on bodies of another type, the different types of bodies being readily visible to the players so that a player viewing a body of a given type will know that the particular body carries a letter of a given group.
