ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for an electronic word game in which is displayed a word selected by the actuation of letter keys by one player. Also displayed is a pictorial illustration of the anatomy of a person on gallows. The selected word is blanked out so as not to be observed by another player, although the other player can observe the number of letters in the selected word. The other player selects successively letters to arrive at the spelling of the selected word. Letter keys are actuated in accordance with the letters selected by the other player. Each incorrect selection of a letter by the other player results in a different part of the anatomy being sequentially lighted, i.e. neck, arms, torso and legs. Should the entire anatomy be lighted, the other player has lost the game. Should all the letters of the selected word be correctly selected, the other player has won the game. A clear key is actuated for the start of a new word selection.
