Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an educational game apparatus which requires the players to unscramble a given set of letters to form a word which matches or defines the given clue. Correct matches by a player translate into moves for the player's pieces around a game board and results in the eventual achievement of the game board objectives. The object of the game is for a player to mark off all the letters, numerals or other appropriate indicia on his/her score card, i.e.: a laminated strip in the shape of a bacon strip, by moving his/her game piece in either direction around the game board. The winner of the game is the first individual or team to completely mark off all the letters, numerals or other appropriate indicia on their score cards.
