A game board is formed from moldable material having first and second marginal borders provided with a plurality of pockets adapted to receive therewithin letter tiles having diverse colors on opposed sides correlatable to letters of the alphabet printed as indicia on the game board itself. Inwardly disposed therefrom is a four-sided frame having pairs of spaced opposed parallel vertical and horizontal legs defining a rectangular frame provided with numerical and alphabetical correlatives oriented to assist in deployment of a plurality of segments within the frame.

Orientation of all of the segments provides varied and diverse games since indicia are provided on each of the segments in the form of darkened squares, crosses, diamonds, and lightened squares of two colors allowing different scoring opportunities.
