ABSTRACT:
A board game wherein players make words from multiple letter tiles. Unlike prior word games, the player must construct words of a particular number of letters, which correspond to numbers appearing on the game board. Each player has a colored moving game piece, and starts with 6 letters. Upon making a word of a number of letters shown on the board (shown to the other players), the player is allowed to move the piece diagonally or horizontally to the number on the board. Each of the 4 possible players begins with the game piece at the colored “start” side of the board, and the object is to move the player piece inward, toward the center of the board, to achieve victory. The players may also challenge the spelling of words made by their opponents, in the preferred mode of playing the game. If the challenger is correct, the player loses his or her turn, and if the challenger is incorrect, the challenger loses his or her turn. In addition, players may pass when unable to form words of a required number of letters. Finally, player must form a 7 letter word in order to move to the number “7” center area of the board, resulting in victory.
