ABSTRACT:
A playing board is divided into a number of discrete playing areas bearing respective numerals in a reading sequence. A plurality of game pieces such as cards or tiles, whose aggregate number approximates the number of the areas, respectively bear letters of the alphabet. The number of game pieces bearing a particular letter corresponds generally to the normal frequency of occurrence of that letter. The player makes a plurality of random draws of a certain number of the tiles and, attempting to form words or parts of words, places them on respective areas of the board in relative positions that form words or are likely to form parts of words in subsequent plays of subsequent draws. Each play of a draw is playable only in areas having higher numbers than those played in a previous draw except when a play can no longer be so made whereupon play can be made in low numbered areas toward the beginning of the board.
