Abstract: The present invention is a word game having a plurality of letter tiles and category cards. The game may also include a letter bag, a plurality of letter racks, and/or a playing board. By taking turns, individual letter tiles are drawn at random by players. If a drawing player chooses to use that drawn letter tile in the composition of a word relating to a randomly selected category identified on a current category card, that player may place that letter tile on that player's letter rack. If the player discards the letter tile, the letter tile is placed face-upward within a designated playing area, such as upon the game board. During each player's turn, such player may exchange individual letter tiles between his or her letter rack and the game board in an effort to spell a word belonging to the designated category. When a person correctly composes a complete word which belongs to the chosen category, the round is ended and points are allocated.
