Description

If you enjoy word games like Boggle or Scrabble and would enjoy another opportunity to improve your vocabulary and crossword skills, this fun, fast wordplay game may be one you want to add to your collection. To start a round of play, each person is given a group of randomly chosen letter tiles that will be used to create a two-word crossword. In addition, special dice are rolled to determine the criteria that these two words should meet to qualify. For example, one word might need to be a four-letter word that contains one vowel, and the other word could be a five-letter word that describes an action.

Working from their letter tiles, all players will race to see who can first create two words that intersect in a crossword pattern that also meet the criteria for this round. The winner receives a token, and another round is started with new tiles and word criteria. Once a player has won five tokens, they are declared the winner. If this sounds like fun to you, this might just be the game to add to your collection.

Solo mode is included in the instructions, but the game can be played with up to 4 people.
